About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see this world as much as I can

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Tina — originally from Taiwan, now living in Australia — and I’m living a life filled with creativity, travel, and meaningful connections.

I’m a soap maker by both trade and passion. I teach and create handmade soaps in Australia, and I absolutely love sharing this craft with others — it’s a beautiful mix of art, science, and soul.

Travel is one of my greatest joys — not just visiting new places, but meeting people from all walks of life, trying local foods, learning new ways of living, and growing through each experience. I truly believe the world becomes a kinder, more vibrant place when we share our stories, meals, and moments together.

When I’m not making soap, you’ll probably find me baking something delicious or out exploring nature. I’m deeply inspired by art in all its forms — from galleries and museums to street murals and old buildings with stories to tell.

Yoga and meditation are important parts of my life. In April, I completed a 10-day Vipassana retreat, followed by walking the Camino de Santiago in May — both were deeply transformative journeys that deepened my commitment to simplicity, presence, and inner peace.

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded souls — kind, curious, open-hearted people who love to live fully and share generously. If that sounds like you, I’d love to cross paths!
PHILOSOPHY

''L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.''
