I'm Gilda, I'm an NZer who took a gap year that turned into three. I’m heading to Taiwan in July, I would love to hitchhike, couchsurf and camp as much as possible. Also improve my Chinese! 我是在高中开始学习中文的、可是我的口语还还真的很糟糕、繁体字一点也看不懂 😅

Give everyone love and it will come back to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The absolute best thing about travel, I think, is the people. Making connections that cut through usual small talk, that’s where it’s at
