Description

Hi, this is Lynn from Taiwan, a small, mountainous island in East Asia. I enjoy learning new things, meeting people from different backgrounds, and living simply and sustainably. I’ve been practicing a more minimal and low-impact lifestyle since I watched the documentary "The Minimalists" 8 years ago. I’d describe myself as adventurous, adaptable and calm. I enjoy thoughtful conversations with others, while also value some peaceful me-time to recharge.

Currently, I’m taking a career break after 10 years in international trade. I'd like to connect with local people to explore different lifestyle and culture, contributing my energy to home/farm projects ,and learning hands-on skills, such as organic gardening, composting, natural building, and food preservation.

I studied English Literature and International Business, and did an exchange program in the Netherlands, which gave me a chance to travel around Europe. This time, I'd like to visit the Scandinavia region to experience local life and the "less is more" vibe.

I like hiking, gardening, or just being surrounded by nature. I also enjoy reading, cooking, sewing, up-cycling handcrafts, going to a musical or stand-up talk show. I do meditation everyday to refresh and find inner peace.

3. Cooking: I cook healthy meals almost every day and enjoy baking. I am happy to share Taiwanese dishes with you.

4. Hostel work: I worked part-time for a year in a hostel in Taiwan as receptionist and cleaner, so I’m used to welcoming travelers and keeping spaces tidy.

6. Other skills: Basic sewing, house painting, curtain installation, furniture fixing, and some marketing/media skills (video editing, brochure and website update).
