Hi, I'm Astrid from Taiwan. I am in the gap year after working. I will travel to Europe from April to May 2024. I can speak easy French and Russian. I am willing to help you practice Mandarin.

I like to do aerial yoga, play piano, try some easy recipes and go hiking in my free time.
My friends always enjoy chatting with me. I am a good listener and full of empathy. They said after talking with me, would feel better and enlightened.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk along the train track in a remote line. The train arrives at next stop in 1 hour. I walk along the train track to next stop. Because I needed to detour to the last stop to take the train, it was far away to me. I agree it was a crazy act but exciting. I won't do the same thing anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some opinions about my life with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to help you practice languages during this trip if you're learning them.
