My name is Ying-Shen from Taiwan. In mandarin, there’s a beautiful meaning of the name which is full of memories. That’s why I love my name so much.
I’m a sweet girl and always so curious about the world. I want to explore and experience different cultures as possible and I can. Traveling is an important part of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my couchsurfing experiences are super fantastic. The people I met is the most beautiful part in my trip. I really enjoy this way of travelling. I hope I can start to host someone as soon as possible.

Interests

I love cooking in my spare time. I can spend a whole afternoon in the kitchen. I like to read cooking book, but usually I don't follow the whole instructions when I start cooking. I like to make it with my creativity. :P
I love traveling so much. I enjoy to use my whole heart to contact with an unfamiliar place and people.
Keeping traveling is what I want to do in my whole life !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked through the whole frozen lake - Oko in Zakopane where is a beautiful mountain region in Poland. It was -13 degrees at that time but luckily a super sunny day. My jeans and my boots got frozen as well. I tried to make snow angle on the lake with other 2 girls. It's so crazy but memorable experiences in my life!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my Chinese & Taiwanese culture with my host, explain to them the complex relationship betwwen Taiwan and China. I'm also willing to teach them some Chinese or how to write calligraphy.
The most important of all, I would like to cook delicious Taiwanese food for my hosts !! :) I can also give(invent) you a Chinese name, which is meaningful and unique and under Chinese name system - one character for family name and two characters for the name.
