About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy my life

ABOUT ME

I am a Taiwanese who enjoy traveling the world for life style, and culture experience. I used to live in Canada for couple years, Australia for one year and half year in New Zealand for different experience. Now, I live and work in Slovakia. This is why I wanna meet different people from different cultures. I am kind of shy......after be familiar with the person who I know, I would be talkative, amiable, and considerate.
I use this web for meeting people more than finding free accommodation. I'd like to meet people from everywhere in the world not just local. I like travelling, rock climbing, skiing, mountaineering, inline skating, watching movies, surfing, cooking, culture exchanging, biking, doing anything for fun........If you do like any above activities as well let's be friends!

PHILOSOPHY

play hard, work hard, enjoy life with my heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I either stay with my family, stay at hostel if i am travelling, or got housemates if i rent my own place. Might not be easy to host but you still can ask since situation changes from time to time. For me, couch surfing is not mainly about finding free accommodation but meeting some like minded/ interesting people. Definitely I am happy to show guest around my familiar environment, or explore somewhere newbies together.....and this is what i am doing mostly on this site now:-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started from attending CS meetup event, then making local friends by posting activities on this site during travelling. Eventually, I made my first couchsurfing in Christchurch( New Zealand) n it's awesome experience...

Interests

*Rollerblading- 5 years coaching experience, did semi-circle trip around Taiwan by rollerblading.

*Travelling- should be easy to tell since sign up this site. Have been to Japan, Korea, China, Canada, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Philippine....would like to explore more

*Mountaineering/hiking/trekking/scrambling- being an outdoor adventurous soul, hiking is the best way to immerse myself in the nature and get recovery from work. I basically go hiking every weekend if I am not traveling....

* River Tracing/canyoning- if you dunno what this is, check out my album. It is way too hot to hike under the sun heat so river tracing becomes my favorite activities in Summer now. Mainly involve bouldering / rappelling skills. So far conquer 25 rivers in Taiwan( 2015-08-04), to to achieve 50 in two years would be my goal....check out the link~

*Skiing and rock climbing- Roughly an year experience but love those activities. I try to get to climbing gym twice a month at least now. Keep looking for sport friends, feel free to let me know if you are up to.

*Taxes Holdem Poker- I don't gamble that much since have seen too many sad stories in my casino careers life! But........Poker is different story! Pretty good way to train your brain thinking logically and socialize with friends.

*Cooking- Learn many different type dishes while travelling.... However, I am a energy healer( Reiki practitioner) and also I become pescetarian since 2014. Nowadays I mainly cook simple dishes in healthy way but do a lots of baking stuff tho....

*Yoga/ Meditation/ Reiki- Quite new in this field but found this is great to hear my voice from deep soul. I am a level 2 Reiki practitioner and happy to provide energy healing if people need. For yoga, I try to go yoga practice once a week now.

***NoNo- unfortunately I am neither a party person nor heavy drinker. I only go to bar/club occasionally when I really have to....not things is wrong with it, just not what I am about.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am up to most kinda movies and musics, especially drama movie and classical musics. But....not fancy at heavy metal music....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* When I worked in Australia Alice Springs, I normally finished work at 3-4am roughly....Alice Springs is the center of Australia with a large number of wild kangaroos. I remember once I got home after finishing my duty, there was one huge red kangaroo lying in front of my flate door. He obviously didn't wanna move even i was getting closer......we are only 5 meters away for couple minutes....
HOW AMAZING!!!!

** Conquered snow mountain in Taiwan 3800m height which is my highest record so far.

*** Been traveling by working in Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe( currently) so far.....
