Hello everyone!! I'm Shun-Ling Kao, you call me Sharon:)
I'm now an exchange student studying in Helsinki, Finland.
I always tell myself that I only live once, so be active and be brave to try and learn everything in my life! I really learn a lot and think more differently during my study abroad life! And now I know how to make friends with others :) I really appreciate that I can have a chance to see the world! I'm still learning how to be a much more open-minded, adventurous, and positive person! Also, I like to learn new things, new languages, and experience different life style in different country!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course, the most important thing is to meet different people! I like to share my stories and also listen to others' stories or their experience. I always learn a lot from different people no matter we are just chatting with our daily life or talking about the culture from our own country. It'll be the most fantastic experience in my life:) Also, I would like to live like a "local" wherever I travel! It's the fastest and directly way to know more about a country in short days I think:)
Looking forward to start my "surfing experience"!!!:))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm.....have to think about it:D

Teach, Learn, Share

Since my major in University is International Tourism Management, I like to know more about different kinds of tourism industry in different countries. Besides, From last year, I started to travel around European countries, and I tried to use hostel , hotel , and airbnb to gain more experience about accommodation. And of course now I want to try couch surfing :) To meet more people around the world! Now I also help my Finnish friend who has several flats on airbnb to do the cleaning and meet her guest:-) It's really an excellent chance for me and I really enjoy it!!
