About Me

Currently living in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia until 2022, due to COVID-19 pandemic we are a bit more cautious now. But are still open to meet CSers in Addis!

2021 would hope the travel continues despite the pandemic, so far Tanzania, UAE, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, DRC, Rwanda are visited.

2020 has been a difficult year to travel due to COVID-19, still manage a couple of places before & after Pandemie.
Asia:Thailand, China, Taiwan, Philippines
Europe: Turkey, Germany, Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland,
Africa: Sudan, Somaliland, Ethiopia
America:Mexico

2019 traveled: Seychelles, Serengeti and Zanzibar, Mombasa, Norway, Omo Valley, Simiens Mountains, Danakil Depression, Mozambique, Djibouti

In 2018 I worked 6 months in Kinshasa, DRC, one of the most unforgettable experience in a crisis country. Then I traveled around Germany, Taiwan, Maldives, Ukraine, Jordan, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey.

Born and raised in Taiwan, one of the most beautiful and open-mind island with lovely people and strong Taiwanese culture. I later on start to live in different places around the world, Paris, Iran, Honduars, Berlin and other European countries. It is always a big pleasure to share joyfulness with couchsurfing, and show people around the city and understand different culture.

Quite open to any mindset and different values. Living in Berlin has changed a lot of my mindset so far, to be more open minded to different culture and different people, and would love to share it for people who are coming to Berlin. Like to listen life stories, go for some drinks/dance at nights, talk on everything about life philosophy.

Me gusta mucho caminar en el parque o bailar en una discoteca de baile latino, como Salsa, bachata o Tango. Me fascina diferente cultura aunque me falta de aprenderla, asi que es la mejor manera de conocernos! Vamos a conocernos muy rapido!

I m an adventurer, I can't wait just pack my self in a small luggage and travel to remote place in this world, i m not afraid of any places, foggy dark nights, walking 10 days in the mountains, live like an indigenous, I m quite enjoying everything~

I'm super easy going, no hypocrisy, and low maintenance, sleeping in ground is far enough for me as I've camped in quite everywhere, train station, police station, mountains and lakes...

I love story sharing, reading novels and watching documentary films from all over the world, not for highly commercialized film.

I think Couchsurfing is a perfect idea to bring like-mindset people together.

I m fanatic on traditional musics and culture, dancing salsa and bachata in a latin bar always fascinates me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Any kind of sharing, food party, dancing with friends~
Go out for bars, traveling and motorcycling into deep mountains of Honduras.
Dancing 3 days in Berlin...
Or a long night talk of philosophy across different cultures...
Cooking with host together is always funny
