Hi there!

I am a space architect who designs interiors of space habitats, recently founded a company in space architecture. I love to see a big picture of the world, and I believe no matter what nationality you are, we are all the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first used Couchsurfing when I was traveling alone for the first time in my life for my architectural internship in Hong Kong back in 2017. This experience was a game-changer. I realized that everything you can imagine can be possible! With no exaggeration, the CS community made me who I am now -- aspiring sci-fi practitioner, public speaker, and ever-changing person
