Hi everyone! I’m You-Zhen from Taiwan 🇹🇼

I’m 28 (in 2025) and excited to meet new people, share stories, and connect with travelers and locals from all over the world. I hope we can create sweet, dreamlike memories together!

I’ve traveled solo in Asia several times—visiting Cebu (Philippines), Chiang Mai (Thailand), Osaka and Okinawa (Japan), and Nepal. Each trip gave me beautiful friendships and encounters with unique wildlife, and I always came home with touching stories.
Some memories I cherish:
In the Philippines, I loved the calm energy of Catholic statues in every home.
In Thailand, the warmth of both the people and the climate still makes me smile.
In Japan, I was deeply touched by the kindness of strangers, like those who offered me rides.
In Nepal, I remember dozens of eagles circling close to the mountains—it made me feel both small and deeply moved.

I enjoy a mix of quiet and lively moments: peaceful mornings in nature listening to birds and insects, and joyful evenings sharing meals and laughter with friends. I like to go with the flow and enjoy life naturally.

I’m also flexible and communicative, and I adapt easily to daily routines. I enjoy a slow, laid-back lifestyle and meaningful connections with people.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing stories, laughter, and maybe some adventures together!

Interests

I’m passionate about crafting, painting, photography, birdwatching, philosophy, reading, visiting museums, traveling, and spending time outdoors. Because of these interests, I’ve worked as a bird researcher, an art teacher in rural schools, and in product design and illustration back in Taiwan.

BUTTTT... ... Travel is my biggest hobby, I like how travel always inspires me.
e.g. culture, language, tradition, food, of course, interact with LOCAL PEOPLE!
