About Me

I'm an archer and a poet. My favourite author is Luó Guànzhōng (or Ernest Hemingway?)

I like basketball and play fairly well, but cant remember name of any basketball player.

I like doggies. Someday a few hungarian shepherd dogs will be running 'round my ranch, but today I'm only looking for a place to stay.

I've just started a PhD on revolutions, though for me it's mostly a religious thing and not political. Wanna talk about it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ever since my first time studying abroad (Denmark, 2008) I can't imagine taking all-in group-bus-hotel tours: it just doesn't make sense when you are used to living places, not visiting them. So when I travel, I like it the local way.
