ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Ping Chen, I’m 31 years old and from Taiwan 🌏. Taiwan is a beautiful island country near China, and my mother tongues are Mandarin and Taiwanese. If you’re curious about Asian or Taiwanese culture, I’d be happy to share what I know.

I’m an outgoing and open-minded person who enjoys talking to people and making new friends. I believe Couchsurfing is more than just finding a place to sleep — it’s about meaningful cultural exchange and creating memories together.

MY JOURNEY

In May 2023 I began a long journey through Europe, which will continue until December 2025. Along the way, I’ve visited more than 35 countries across Europe and the Middle East:

• Western & Northern Europe:
Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg,
France, Switzerland, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark,
Norway
• Southern Europe & Mediterranean:
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Malta, Cyprus
• Central & Eastern Europe:
Czechia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia,
Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo,
Albania, North Macedonia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
• Middle East & Caucasus:
Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, UAE,
Egypt

Every place has taught me something different — from hiking mountains in the Balkans, to wandering Middle Eastern bazaars, to feeling the cozy kindness of Northern European hosts.

Before this journey, I spent about two years in the UK as an au pair and Helpx working holiday helper, which gave me many opportunities to live with locals and exchange cultures. Later, I completed my Master’s degree at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh Scotland (2019). These experiences made me adaptable and comfortable with people from different cultures.

WHAT I CAN SHARE

• Stories and insights about Taiwan and Asian culture.
• Travel stories from Europe, the Balkans, Caucasus
and the Middle East.
• A positive and respectful presence at home.

TRAVEL STYLE

I’m flexible when I travel. Sometimes I enjoy spending time with hosts, cooking or exploring together. Other times, I’m happy wandering alone and getting to know the vibe of a city. I try to adapt to the host’s rhythm and be considerate of their space.

LOOKING FORWARD

I truly appreciate the kindness of Couchsurfing hosts who open their homes and hearts to travelers. I hope to connect, share, and maybe become good friends along the way. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more about me or Taiwan!
