Personal Description

**Now I'm traveling around the world.**
**Maybe someday I will be your guest:)**
--
Curiosity of everything that I’ve never seen, enthusiasm about what I really want to do, abilities to express myself (including talking, writing, drawing), and understanding about myself. These factors composed me. The great nature is my faith, the happiness in daily life is my object, and the love given by all my family and friends is the property that enriches me.

How I Participate in CS

Since knowing from friends, I'm excited about trying Couchsurfing in every countries. It's really a good opportunity to meet local people and learn much from them, about cultures, religions, histories and also wonderful places of that country.

Thank you all, for helping me reach the world.

Interests

(1)Movies: Starting with Hollywood movies, now I prefer movies from south America, Africa, Europe, middle-east, south Asia and my country Taiwan. “The Shawshank Redemption” is my favorite movie.
(2)Music: The USA pop/country music and some Japan pop music accompanied me during my high school age. Now usually I listen to Taiwan pop music and local music. Also I like some movie themes, jazz, anime music.
(3)Video/PC games: Games have great influence on me about the thinking, attitude and views toward my life and this world. I prefer Japanese console and arcade games(like Final Fantasy series), and also I play USA PC games(like Diablo series). “Tactics Ogre” is one of my favorite games.
(4)Hand Puppet Theater: Also called palmar-drama, it’s a drama played by puppets hold in one’s palm. Puppet holders could throw, turn and move puppets all over the stage, so puppets could fight, run and act as human beings. One of the puppet holders would speak out lines, so it sounds like the puppets are talking,.
(5)Traveling: I’ve stepped all over the land which bore me and raised me up. There’re great mountains and beautiful oceans in Taiwan, and I really love my home town. Now I’m going to see the world, and I’m so excited about this journey.

Philosophy

Enjoy your life journey.
Whether good or bad, happy or sad, whatever happening is a part of it.
And it won’t happen again.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Chi is calm, good listener and intelligent. He can mention many points from your speeches that you have hardly ever noticed them.
I admire his curiosity about other cultures, his open mind to accept the differences between cultures and trying to understand them.
We had many good conversations and fun together. I hope to see him again in Taiwan or any other place.
To Chi: "Yon Baon An Kan" :)
祝你好运和幸福永远

Chi is an easygoing and considerate traveller. So it was easy to host him. I was impressed by the amount of time he spent on finding a particular kind of scarf for his friend back in Taiwan. And that was after being away for two years. So he must be a good friend too. I wish him luck and I hope we can meet again.
