Am a girl who love learning from the big world. After studying languages for B.A and international politics for M.A. Since 21.01.05 I have started my career life in Taipei city. Am now enjoying the life as office lady.

Because of the job, I have opportunities to contact foreign people and to have business trips abroad. However, work is work. I enjoy private travel much more, especially with my beloved parents and sisters. Sharing experiences with your love and friends is the finest joy.

What is the most important thing to me? Healthy and happiness. I'm on diet and take exercises regularly. Instead of material, happiness is based on mind from love, affection, friendship, learning, achievement of work and travelling.

Travel opens my mind and different cultures widen my views. When I was a student, due to the limited budget I couldn't fly as much as I wish. However, since I worked I have had less time to do what I like, but I never give up any chance to see the world more. Now I am expecting of the next trip a lot.

I am a fan of Europe. I studied European languages and politics. So far I've been to Europe several times, staying in my dreamy countries for couple of days--> Germany. I used to stay in my friend's houses. Thanks for German Family Knoll in Schillingsfurst (Bayern), Buchholz in Aschaffenburg (Bayern), Hahn in Einbeck (Niedersaxon) and Danish Family Jensen (Aarup), Nielson (Barloese) and Greve (Odense).
