About Me

*I cannot host during 20 June to 14 July*

Originally from Taiwan!

I studied drama so I believe everyone can act as long as they learn (act on the stage not in the real life!).

I am a direct person. I say what I think. I do what I say.

I enjoy knowing people with different backgrounds and cultures, sharing each other's ideas and perspectives.

I enjoy long chat and ask questions so I can understand people and what's behind them. So I prefer having a long conversation with people than clubbing. (plus I don't drink due to allergy)

I spend time with positive energy people and stay far far away from negetive people.

I have my emotional way - Most geusts and hosts got along really well with me like meeting old friends. I have to accept after CS meeting, we will be on seperate roads again.

Also I REALLY love trying different food.

Try my best to treat this earth better with max recycle (HK has a poor recycle system). My husband and me nearly have 0 meat at home but we eat meat outside in restaurants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was travelling and using CS for 2 years in a row, I found out how strong, confident and attractive I could be by spending time with different people everyday. The people I met taught me a lot without my realization. The journey gradually completes myself.
