Hello, I am Jing from Taiwan. I was a English teacher before, and I quit my job to travel for 3 months. Teaching has an important impact on me. I decided to go to a different place to find myself back.

I love kids! I am learning how to take beautiful photos with film camera. I would like to meet people around the world and get to know their cultures. More important, I want to tell people how wonderful Taiwan is!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet different people from all over the world! Not only to make friends with them, but also to broaden my vision of this world. In addition, I expect my students to enrich their experience. Since I am their teacher, I should make myself an example.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's my first time traveling alone, and it's in Latin America! For me, it's a big work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love my country so much.
"Taiwan" is a special country that some don't consider it as a country, and also we have sensitive problem with China. So I want to share more things about my country, let more people know this beautiful island with its delicious food, friendly people, and fascinating culture.
Oh, what's more! I would like to learn the reality side of a city/country, and it's a pleasure to talk about issues like this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not good at cooking, but I still can do Taiwanese dishes for the hosts if they want. Because I think food of Taiwan is the best! And I really want people to know this! Or I can share some stories of my journey... Though I am a professional traveler, I have much to tell people and make them satisfying!
