I'm really into photography, not really professional but trying to capture the best moments ^_^

1. I don't use Couchsurfing to Flirt

2. Before you send me a request, please read my profile so that you could have a basic understanding of my house. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

In LOVE and FOOD I trust ;-)

Carpe Diem
Ne regrette pas ce que tu as fait, regrette plutôt ce que tu n'as pas fait

Hello
I'm Yu-Hsuan from beautiful Taiwan!

Not a big entertainer, I'm quiet and not really talkative, but will crack up when I find a match.
Though I'm a little shy when meeting new people, I'm actually welcoming and willing to make friends with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I come, I eat, I meet you

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
----J. R. R. Tolkien

When I do couchsurfing and hitchhiking, in most cases I haven't had a second chance to meet my hosts and drivers. Usually the drivers' put me down somewhere and since then we've become two parallel lines that might never meet again, which literally means I have no chance to return their favor.

However, the wish to return the favor but never granted also becomes a strong motive for me to help those who are in need and to know those whom I meet on the road. That's the reason why I'm on Couchsurfing. It's indeed amazing that so many people can treat a total stranger so well :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I spent 51 days traveling around Taiwan on foot and by hitchhiking, and built up some muscles in my arms and legs, of which I'm pretty proud.

Hitchhiking for numerous times, in Taiwan and Europe

When traveling through Taiwan, I've slept in strangers' houses, at elementary schools, police stations, convenient stores, and even on the streets ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Unlike me, my mother is an excellent cook and I'll persuade her to cook for you.

I'm good at washing dishes and cleaning up
But just learned how to make apple jam recently ^^

(added in 2016)
BUT!

After spending a semester in Brno, I've become a good cook!!
To save money I usually cook for myself and thus my cooking skills have improved a lot.

So I can share my cuisine with you :-)
