Hi!My name is Claire.I love SMILEY icon so my friends call me Smiley.I grew up in Taiwan and didn't have any experience going abroad.However, traveling around the world is always my dream.Fortunately,I got an opportunity to work in New Zealand after graduating .And New Zealnad became my first foreign country that I've been to.I know it's a bit insane for a never-left-hometown girl whose first job and first country to visit is a totally unfamiliar place which is really far from Taiwan,even in another hemisphere!

I'm full of curiosity about the world.I'm keen to make friends .Though my English sucks,I still enjoy speaking and learning this language.Isn't it great that u could make friends with people all around the world just chatting with the mutual language?

I've been in New Zealand since August,2014. I would stay here for at least 2 years.But becuz of my job,my time is not that flexible.I still wish I could meet other mates who r locals or traveling in New Zealand.Maybe I could have an opportunity to stay in your house, or maybe I could have a trip with u, spend one day with u,or even just have a meal with u !:)
