Offering : Mandarin (Native, Taiwan 🇹🇼) | Seeking: English speaking partner — fitness, life stories, books & gaming

Hey everyone 👋

I'm from Taiwan, native Mandarin speaker, turning 40 this year. My English is somewhere between beginner and B1 — I can chat, but I'll definitely mess up sometimes. That's why I'm here!

Quick background: I've worked at different startups as a director, and now I'm a full-time turnaround operator — basically helping struggling companies ( mainly founder-led / family business) become profitable again.

Instead of writing more about myself, here's some stuff I can share if any of it sounds fun:

🍜 Taiwan & travel tips — Local food, night markets, where to actually go (and what to skip), scooter life, hidden spots. I'll give you the non-tourist version.

💪 Fitness — I'm a NASM-Certified personal trainer with 10+ years of training experience. Happy to talk programming, form, nutrition, recovery, or whatever you're stuck on.

💭 Life stuff — I've had some crazy-ass stories growing up that completely changed how I see the world. If you're going through something — or just want to talk it out — I'm happy to listen and share what I've learned along the way.

📚 Psychology & human behavior — I love books about why people think and act the way they do. Recent favorite: Rewire by Nicole Vignola. Always open to recommendations!

🎮 Gaming — Casual player, always trying new stuff. Recently into ARC Raiders, GTA 5, and Satisfactory. If you've got a game you love, tell me — I'll probably check it out.

If anything caught your eye, drop a comment or DM — I'll reply to everyone. No schedules, no pressure, just relaxed conversations and helping each other out. I'm in GMT+8.

Looking forward to making friends around the world 🌏
