CURRENT MISSION

Cherish the people around me, and look for the meaning of life both from inside and outside.

ABOUT ME

Hi, this is TinTin (也可以叫我丁丁) from Taiwan. I am 31 years old but act and think in a somewhat naive way (according to everyone). I spent 2008 spring and summer studying in Graz Austria. There I also started the adventure of knowing the world by traveling in Europe.

Back to Asia, I stayed in Shanghai China for 5 months, working as a reception specialist in Taiwan Pavilion of Expo 2010. Following is making friends with the world again (I mean, giving tour guide and arranging the schedule) in 2011 Taipei Int'l Flora Expo.

I do want to be a school teacher, but I also take any opportunity to see how far I can reach without regret before I am too old. I have been learning to live with humor as well as an open-minded heart. It's always "people" that matters for me. To love someone, any good idea?

PHILOSOPHY

1. No pains, no gains
2. Always look on the bright side of life
3.成為自己喜歡的人

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a lot of impressing couch surfing experience in Europe 2008. I also once hosted or met up some great friends through this platform. For me, it's just a place where things are much more different from what I am getting used to. I bump into people here, and I get inspired by their unique lives from everywhere, at the same time when I tell my story, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting new good friends, sharing interesting stories, and exchanging different views. I am convinced that I can always dig out something great as long as I am willing to open my mind.

Interessen

In college, I played baseball, basketball, volleyball, and table tennis. I love sports, especially ball games. I like to sing with or without music, alone or with audiences. In my leisure time after work, I surf the internet to get informed of the latest news which are interesting to me. Besides, I can capture a vivid photo with my camera or eyes and enjoy the special moment.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Lyinging in front of Lyon train station with a sleeping bag in the midnight for the early train in 6 hours. Surprisingly I was awaken by noticing 2 boxes of breakfast cookies from 2 young kind men. They must think how poor this Asian guy was. XD
