My name is Chih-Ling Hsu. I am a master's student from Taiwan who will begin an exchange program at KTH (KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) studying computer science and engineering in the following year. As a data science researcher, I am passionate about analyzing and exploring our living world through innumerable amount of data. My recent experience working as a data-intensive business consultant intern has made me a big fan of the art and science of consulting based on data and models. In my spare time, I read novels, listen to music (recently very into KPOP!!!), and watch horror games. I also love going on trips to meet people with different visions and places with different history. My special experiences during trips include paragliding in Grindelwald and skiing on top of Jungfrau when I once traveled to Switzerland. I believe affectionate connections are the most precious things in one's life. As this is my first time trying couch surfing (recommended by my friend Garnix), I'm expecting to meet different culture and make new friends. Since my home country, Taiwan, is very famous for its food, I would love to prepare and share some Taiwanese cuisine with you during our time together. ### Valencia (10/1~10/3) - [ ]https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/1004095136 - 29, Male, Media Executive, Beach, Nature, Chill, Wine, Music, Festivals, Party, Chill again... - Private room - Public bus and tramway at 5 min.

Spain is the first place we decide to visit. My friend, named Amy is a master exchange student studying at KTH(in Sweden). I am a master student studying at Stuttgart(in Germany). Our majors are both computer science, that’s why we met each other in Taiwan. This is the first time we try couch surfing together. The main reason we choose couch surfing during our trip is definitely about the culture exchange and experience Spanish life. Being a “tourist” usually would miss a lot of traditional stuff that a really “local” would recommend. It’s a distinct opportunity to meet people with different visions, history and background. Moreover, could be a change in one’s life. Amy and I both love novels, listen to every kind of music(she’s very into KPOP recently LoL), and watch horror games streamer. We are such a nerd when it comes to Harry Potter. Since our hometown Taiwan, is very famous for its food, we would love to share our recipies of some Taiwanese cuisine with you during the time together. --- Hi, we are two Taiwanese girls now planning to travel around Europe.
