About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Life is too important to be taken seriousely
ABOUT ME
I am a true globaltrotter, born in Taiwan, studied in France, Belgium, Austria and Germany. Currently working in Berlin, Germany. Strangely, I was never in the kitchen at home back in Taiwan, but began to develop my cooking skills when moving to Europe. I enjoy baking and cooking because it helps me to concentrate and think. When I am not in the kitchen, I love to play board games ( Dominion!) with friends or chatting with them while sipping a glass of Mojito. ( I love mint!) I am communicative and humourous, the rest is for you to find out :)
PHILOSOPHY
Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens!
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share
I don't know what I can possibly teach or if I would even be capable of teaching. However, as the famous Chinese philosopher and professor, Confucius once said: "When three men are walking together, there is one who can be my teacher.'' I will be more than glad to be your'' teacher'' :)
