About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let more people know about Taiwan not only making cheap IT gadget.

ABOUT ME

My wife Ching,daughter Sky and i live in JhongLi for almost 20 years. JhongLi is 30 min.s away the TaoYuan international airport so that is why we would love to host fresh visiter or have to departure early morning travelers if you can have one class teaching for our school kids in return.
We run a private small school for kids who come after school.Ching teaches Engish and i teach math.

We love to read books,watch films and travel to enjoy the natural scenery ,local food when we are free from teacing work which usually starts at 3 pm till 9 pm.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach and learn ,Give and take, feel the joy and sadness of every moment in life,Love and peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How do i participate CS ?Because one day i read a book talking about the author CSing experiences when he was in Paris.Autually before joining the CS we are one of HC club members and also have few host experience but none to be hosted.We are happy to join these two .

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In CS or HC we host several families and individuals but we still have not any experience to be guests in somewhere.From now we will take chance to visit ro have coffee or anythings with other couchsurfers.

Interests

Ching and i are all interested in not only alternative music,jazz and class works but also making and enjoying the differeent food .We also love to read books and watch films when we have time(usually on Fri. n Sat. night).Camping in the mountains or by the beach is the most do when we tavld in Taiwan .Spending over one hr to have hot spring or have nice food is the hobby when we are free without working.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So clear sea water just in sight of distant away Saba city.
