CURRENT MISSION

to find a way of living which can balance my travelling interest and moderate income

ABOUT ME

I love outdoor activities and natural environment, so I move to Yilan from Taipei since 2010. It's only 1 hr drive from Taipei to Yilan, but the scenery and living pace is quite different. I can even enjoy nature on my roof.

I'm willing to introduce the beauty of my living to friends who are open-minded.
I also love to share my cooking and handmade craft.
Hope to make friends with different culture and thoughts from the world.
*I started to write English article in my travelling blog to introduce the beauty of my living country and some experience of being a backpacker around the world

PHILOSOPHY

"true passion can only come from heart, so the true self is revealed."
I only live in this world one time, so I should seize everyday to do what I really have passion for.

Insegna, impara, condividi

The travel experiences that become lifelong companions are the moments when you stop being an invading alien and connect with someone who may not speak your language or share your culture.
Stepping outside of the comfortable tourist zones and into the community can elevate you from an economic opportunity to an honored guest and even a friend.
There are a number of ways to respectfully visit and interact with a host country: learning the language, customs and culture; volunteering your time and skills to disadvantaged people; and supporting businesses with environmental or social justice missions.
