Two history nerds and foodies that are going to take your Taiwan experience to the next level!
Meet Hsin 👋
Taichung-born.
Taipei-shaped.
Half Italian soul.
Always starts the morning with an espresso and never put pineapple on the pizza, Hsin is a passionate Couchsurfing host. She loves welcoming travelers from around the world and believes the best journeys begin with genuine human connections.
Life brought her to Kaohsiung four years ago—thanks to her dog, Tequila, who simply couldn't stand rainy days. What started as a move for her furry companion soon became a love affair with this sunny harbor city.
Fluent in English, Italian, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, Hsin enjoys sharing Taiwan's history, introducing local flavors, and helping visitors experience the warmth and hospitality that make Taiwan so special.
