CURRENT MISSION

Staying in Saudi Arabia

ABOUT ME

Swichy, originally from Taiwan, now private piano teacher at KAUST. She learned music as a profession for 14 years (piano 14 years and flute 7 years).

Julien, French, PhD of physics and is a postdoc at KAUST since 2016...he was living in France for most of his life.

We met in Germany and lived there for 6 years, then 2 years in France. 2 years ago we have a new family member S. We are in Saudi Arabia now and hope we can stay one more year here, then we would like to live in a country we haven't been in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

we have hosted around 10 people when we lived in Würzburg, Germany. We also surfed in Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Finland and got wonderful experience. Its awesome to meet our host from Japan and Malaysia at our place in France again in 2014.

Interests

travel around the world/ watch series/ funny videos/ live concert

Otherwise Swichy likes to play the piano and the flute, keyboard (in the band), play badminton and look for some innovative or creative products/idea. she likes hanging out with good friends, because we live in different countries every 2 years and its difficult to see friends when we move to our next destination.

Julien likes to play tennis and swim. As a man he also likes to watch games like soccer, basketball, tennis. He also likes to read wikipedia and link further and further (yup a bit nerd...but dont worry, its just when he is at home.)
