Personal DescriptionI come from a mix of cultures. You can say that I'm oftentimes stuck between the Asian and the American one. Because of this, I love learning about cultures and all the differences we have. It's fascinating and amazing what we can all learn from one another by traveling .How I Participate in CSI tell my friends about it... host people whenever I can. I also meet people for drinks and show them around my city.CouchSurfing ExperienceI've had an amazing list of CS hosts and guests thus far. They've all been awesome and generous!

From Josh Heller Los Angeles, United States Jul 15, 2007 Positive To keep it short:

First it was to be two nights but I was a mess in my agenda and only stayed one night, but still she is an extremely good host and person, hope to see her again!
From LINDSC Los Angeles, United States Jun 5, 2007 Positive Peggy is generous, friendly and kind. She is really an ideal CSer, and a good friend and neighbor to boot. Highly recommended that you host her or get in touch if you're in town.
From JAROCHA Redondo Beach, United States May 28, 2007 Positive PeggyLiu is a great CSr in that in every occassion I have been fortunate to meet her, she always offers rides to other members and brings friends to the gatherings! I can't wait to hear of her hosting/surfing stories, as she opens her couch so often that maybe I'll come and surf her couch and see why everyone wants to CS with her!
From Alex Miller Porto, Portugal May 22, 2007 Positive I only met Peggy one evening and I do admit I was unusually intoxicated ;) What I do rememeber well about Peggy is that she was very polite, helpful, social and worked the crowd well at our party.

From CARODIARIO Torino, Italy Apr 18, 2007 Positive Peggy and I met at a Couch Surf get together in Santa Monica, CA, close to where we both live. I didn't really get a chance to get to know her but she is friends with one of my other local CS friends and, recently, we have gotten to know each other better. She's fun and we both love travel, including to Italy. I've only recently made friends with some of the local CSers and I'm glad to count Peggy in this group of nice people!
From Susana Lin Jhunan, Taiwan Apr 12, 2007 Positive Peggy was my first succesful cs experience and an excelent host!
She was in a busy period at work when Yao and I surfed her couch but she took her time to show us around and meet up with other couchsurfers.
I believe this is the start of a great friendship.
From Lincoln Bamber Perth, Australia Apr 10, 2007 Positive CS'd at Peggy's and went out with her and some friends for dinner and drinks. Very fun.
From Yao Hsien Huang Mbabane, Swaziland Apr 10, 2007 Positive Peggy is a great host!! Eager to show us around, very attentive to our needs, and the air mattress very comfortable. I really regreat not having spent more time in LA, in order to get to know her better.
From SassyAustinRedhead Austin, United States Mar 30, 2007 Positive I met Peggy and her friend for some dinner. We had some great TexMex and really gorged ourselves with the yummy chips & salsa and the Ooweey Gooweey... It was great to show them around.. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!
From Princess Rachelina San Francisco, United States Mar 21, 2007 Positive Peggy is sooooooo cool.

From Leon Wilson Perth, Australia Mar 16, 2007 Positive Peggy gave us such a warm welcome and made us feel at home straight away after 26 hours in transit from Australia. Great company for dinner and drinks!
From LYNNSUN Vancouver, Canada Mar 13, 2007 Positive I would say Peggy made my very first couch surfing a super fantastic experience. I stayed with her for 4 days in LA, she has been driving me around every day after she got off from her 9-5 work. I was totally amazed by her hospitality. She is such a great person with all kinds of positive personalities, happy,outgoing, considerate and caring. She is the best!!!
From KP IN AZ Phoenix, United States Feb 28, 2007 Positive I had a chance to chat a while with Peggy at a gathering in Santa Monica. She is charming and well traveled. I intend to contact her soon to find out more about her Italian Connections! Thanks Peggy! Chat with you soon. :-)
From Larry Streech Phoenix, United States Feb 26, 2007 Positive I met Peggy at the LA meeting and enjoyed talking with and only wish we had all day to talk before it got so loud in the club. I will for sure keep in touch and hope to meet up again soon ;)
From SSPARK Santa Monica, United States Feb 24, 2007 Positive Peggy is friendly and laid-back and easy to talk to. We met up with another CS-er to chill. It was wonderful to hear her positive accounts of CS experiences. Her talking about Italy makes me want to go! Even better is that she's a neighbor (by LA standards, anyway)!
From Stefan Mueller Elz, Germany Feb 23, 2007 Positive I had a great time. Peggy is very friendly and helped me a lot. Thanks again!
From Mike Logan Denver, United States Feb 23, 2007 Positive I really like Peggy. She's very easy to talk to, open-minded, and an expert traveller. Though she works long hours, she makes time to get away - with only 3 weeks of vacation last year - she made it to 5 countries. We talked about our mutual home in Taiwan, our love of food, and the importance of travel to one's life. She brought me to dinner at a great Japanese restaurant, brought me sightseeing to a pre-Oscar Mann's Chinese Theater, and shared pretzel sticks on the way to meet up with another CSer. I hope she comes to Denver, so I can show her as much kindness as she showed me.
From NONO UMASY Los Angeles, United States Feb 17, 2007 Positive Peggy is a friendly and easy going girl. She's traveled to Italy and it was a pleasure to talk to her about travelling
From Michael Zieger Berlin, Germany Feb 16, 2007 Positive This is just another extremly positive reference :) After arriving in LA and surviving 2 hours of Valentines day traffic jams, I was warmly welcomed by Peggy who has had already invited two friends Erica and Peter in order to go out for a marvelous Persian restaurant. This felt so good after all the junkfood in the weeks before. Afterwards we went down to the beaches, but decided to have another beer at Barney's as the wind outside has almost blown us away. We had a nice evening chatting and exchanging couchsurfing experiences. We even convinced Erica to give it try. Sadly, I had only one night to enjoy Peggy's hospitality. LA is certainly worth investigating a few more days, especially when you have a car. Thanks for everything and greets to Peter and Erica!

From DEENA Washington, United States Dec 7, 2006 Positive Peggy is great! I met her at a couchsurfing meeting in Santa Monica. Coincidentally she also couchsurfed in Italy with Luciano, who couchsurfed in LA with me! :) She's really fun, sweet, smart, adventurous...exactly the kind of girl that couchsurfing exists for! I hope to hang out with her again. :)
From Cheryl the Mermaid Victoria, Canada Dec 5, 2006 Positive Peggy was my first official stranger surf. She's super nice and real fun to hang out with. She showed me around L.A., and was extremely hospitable. Really happy she was my first stranger host i stayed with for its a very good introduction to couchsurfing! Definately a positive reference :)
From Jeremy Perlman Los Angeles, United States Nov 28, 2006 Positive Peggy is a terrific person I've known for a couple of years now. She is really warm and caring and she is excellent about staying in touch. You can always depend on her to be up for some kind of activity or adventure!
From Julia Wolf Paris, France Nov 24, 2006 Positive Peggy and Judy were really nice with us, they made us very nice and funny presents and were really easy going. It's a pity Judy was sick for a while, but she was able to visit the louvre and eat Thomas' crèpes, so everything was fine the end :-D
From Daniel Wismer Fribourg, Switzerland Nov 12, 2006 Positive I contacted her only last minute, but she managed to meet me on the same day for a drink. I had a very good time, we talked till midnight. Yes, I had a great time with the Couchsurfers in the L.A. area and I managed to get everywhere by public transportation (which surprised them a lot:-)
From Michael Sean La Paz, Mexico Nov 1, 2006 Positive Peggy is a great host. Though I did not 'surf' on her couch, she is very hospitable and kind, and definitely has the traveler's spirit. Thanks, Peggy! I owe you a pint.
From Andy Hwang Los Angeles, United States Oct 26, 2006 Positive Peggy is cool and friendly. We had a good time hanging out and had a lot to talk about.
From Emily Robota Wittlich, Germany Oct 25, 2006 Positive We hungout and had a beer with some other CS people in LA. It was really a lot of fun hearing about other peoples' lives and travel plans. Peggy is very sweet and likeable, very easy to get along with.
From Kathryn Ross Gainesville, United States Oct 24, 2006 Positive We tried to meet up in Italy; unfortunately, this was very hard to do without having phones! Although we did not meet in person, Peggy is very sweet and nice to talk to online. I hope we get the chance to meet up again in the future!
From TOMMATO_2006 Venice, Italy Oct 23, 2006 Negative Peggy contacted me some months in advance but -even if I agreed to meet and host her- when the time to meet came she was probably worrying too much not to have a place to stay and had already too many people in the area to meet, she ended up delaying her arrival for days typing to divide her stay among different hosts and finally not showing up at all, visiting Venice alone just during the day and spending hours in transport because she was staying at an other member place (btw awesome guy and friend of mine) in the region, 60 km far. I talked with her on the phone and on chat and I tried to understand her reasons, but it was unsuccessful, definitely due to a very different mentality. (She says that I was persistent, instead was her calling me spontaneously on the phone the night before her already delayed arrival telling me "is it ok for you if I don't come to stay at your place and we just meet for lunch tomorrow?". After few text messages I saw that smth was weird so I didn't invite her anymore and in fact we didn't meet.) Nothing so bad, I just hope she won't behave with other hosts as she behaved with me. It's not a personal problem (I'm very happy she was at my good friend place), it's a matter for the community, I could have hosted other people that I had to refuse accomodation because of her.
From Luciano Formicola Naples, Italy Oct 18, 2006 Positive ...after so many emails finally we meet.
Peggy and her mate Brian stayed at me for 4 days. Really kind and polite, unfortunately we did not have the chance to spend many time togheter.

I am sure the really enjoied my wonderfull city and, believe me, it makes me happy. TRUST THIS GIRL AND NOT ATTENDED THE STUPID BAD REFERENCE SOMEONE WROTE HER.
From MICKLUPIN Rome, Italy Oct 2, 2006 Positive Peggy is a very nice and polite girl who I had the pleasure to host, even though for 2 days... also she's very strong, didn't want to stop my exhausting tour despite her hurting feet!
From Patrick Mireur Santiago, Chile Sep 30, 2006 Positive Peggy was an extremely nice and intelligent person to meet. She stayed at my place for two nights and was a lot of fun to have around. She also gave me a really cool Taiwanese/Chinese wine bottle cover. Next time I make it back to the US, I'll have to include her place on my list. Thanks!
