Description
Hi I am Yen from Taiwan👧🏻🇹🇼!
This is my second time as a Workawayer, last time was in Dafins, Austria🇦🇹 & Willisau, Switzerland 🇨🇭 in 2023.
I am now in my transition period before heading to Europe for a master's degree in Intercultural Communication or social innovation.
Sooooooo glad to be back!!
I am looking forward to participating in some innovative project as well!!
💭Who am I?💭
I am an outdoor enthusiast and I can feel so fulfilled and loved just to be bathed in nature. I hike mountains over 3,000m in Taiwan(they are so-called "Baiyue 百岳"), I do rock climbing as well, and I call it my lifetime obsession.
I also do trail running, swimming, surfing, recently want to involve more Ashtanga yoga.
For sure I would love to be involved with any kind of sports(or food) that you love!
I am:
50% cat person - 50% dog person
60% introverts- 40% extroverts
80% tea person - 20% coffee
1001% outdoor-enthusiasts
I love meeting people from around the world, knowing their ideas and lifestyles, and having cultural exchanges and also SHOCKs together!
I am a couchsurfing host in my hometown, Taichung, Taiwan.
Feel free to check it out!🤗 (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/lai-yenyen)
I am also a curious bug!🐞 Boom!!💥
💭Where have I been?💭
I have been to Hong Kong, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Turkey; for European countries, I've been to Italy, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. 🇭🇰🇮🇩🇨🇳🇻🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵🇮🇹🇫🇷🇨🇭🇹🇷🇩🇪🇦🇹🇱🇮
💭Why did I join Workaway?💭
“Getting your hands dirty is one of the best ways to learn!!“
I truly believe in this quote.
My goal here is to learn more about cultural differences, sustainability, and lifestyle. Thus I also want to reframe mine😊
At the same time, I would be very eager to do some cultural exchange! My humble offer is some knowledge about my beloved country, Taiwan, as well as some traditional Mandarin teaching.😊
