Description

👋 The Intro
Hey there! I'm Artin! I am a software engineer and I’m from Taiwan. After a few years working in a cubicle I decided to trade my office job and my precious gaming PC for a solo adventure in The Great Southern Land. So far I’ve lived in my van for 2 months and travelled NSW and VIC. I’ve worked as a cherry picker, cattle drover, farm hand, and had a few Workaway experiences.

🔥 The Passions
After living in Down Under for awhile I became so much more interested in my country Taiwan and you’re very welcome to ask me all things about it: food, tea, music, politics, and so forth. We actually have tons of unique features still hidden from the world. And I'd love to hear about your things too!

🌟 The Aspirations
I believe the best way to become a more capable, well-rounded person is by exploring new places and overcoming obstacles along the way. My ultimate goal is to be capable of looking after myself anywhere in the world—picking up practical skills like bushcraft, fishing, car maintenance, and more. But above all, I have a deep affection for animals, especially horses, which hold a special place in my heart. I am eager to understand these magnificent creatures and learn how to care for them with patience and respect from the ground up—whether that’s grooming, mucking out, or simply assisting.

🎉 The Outro
Thanks so much in advance for your kind hospitality and for being part of this journey with me. Our time together might be short, but I’ll carry the memories with me always. Really appreciate you taking the time to read my profile!
