Recent Journeys:

2020-2021: I immersed myself in the study of nonviolent communication, practiced medical massage, and participated in traditional Chinese lion and dragon dances (Dragon Crew).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting Through Travel:
At the heart of my travels lies a deep-seated love for exploring new places and immersing myself in diverse cultures. Travel, for me, isn't just about seeing new sights; it's about the people I meet along the way. Each journey is an opportunity to connect with individuals from all walks of life, to learn from their experiences, and to share a piece of my world with them.

The Joy of Exchange:
I'm a firm believer in the enriching power of exchanging ideas, cultures, and worldviews. These interactions not only broaden my horizons but also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our global community. Couchsurfing, in this regard, is more than a platform; it's a gateway to invaluable learning and friendships.

Couchsurfing as a Global Family:
To me, Couchsurfing is akin to a vast, interconnected family. It's a community where kindness, sharing, and support are the foundations. I am here because I believe that by helping each other, even in the smallest ways, we can collectively make the world a more hospitable and understanding place.

Seeking Spiritual Kinship:
Couchsurfing stands out as the ideal means to find like-minded souls across the globe. It's thrilling to connect with people who share similar values and passions, and who are open to building genuine, lasting relationships. In this community, I find not just travel companions, but friends who resonate with my spirit.

Making a Difference Together:
Every Couchsurfing experience is a step towards building a more connected and empathetic world. I'm here to be a part of that journey, to contribute to this global mosaic of cultures and ideas, and to witness how these
