    I'm a person who likes challenges, learning languages, exploring different cultures. After I graduated from university, I went to work as a bartender in Lanyu, which is an indigenous island close to Taitung. I’ve come to know about indigenous cultures in Lanyu. After that, I decided to go to Australia for a working holiday. It opened my eyes. I met many friends from different countries. That's the reason I started being interested in learning languages. In addition, filming and editing are my hobbies. I have a Youtube channel that records my journey. Sharing my life with people is a joyful thing for me. Writing songs also makes me feel alive.
