CURRENT MISSION

Worldwide travel following historical human migrations. I want to understand the plurality of viewpoints that must coexist in humanity for peace to exist between us. I write about this in political philosophy and fiction works.

ABOUT ME

I like people and I like difference. I contemplate a lot because it makes me feel happy. I share a little when I feel it flows out of my heart or mind. I try not to waste time in fruitless disagreements. I like moving on and I feel the world moves whether we like it or not.
I live a travelling life, but with an idea of travelling that involves more than mere physical movement. It's an attitude of the self, a readiness to be changed by what I experience. For me this is intrinsically linked to language learning and a listening attitude towards people I meet along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Become who you are (it's a quote: Pindare, a greek poet)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much in this form so far. A lot of flat sharing and couch crashing at friends around the world though...

I like spending a few days with friends sharing their daily life and living my own while enjoying a new city or region, or returning to one I know well.
