About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is an aventure, no risk, no fun.

ABOUT ME

When I was 12 Years old, I leaved my family and traveled to many of countries. After I growned up and came back home everything had been changed. At this moment I realized that I can never have a home because I never stop traveling around the world. And that's probaply the only thing that doesn't change at all.

PHILOSOPHY

The life is a tragedy but we have to move on whether you want or not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

visited 49 states

Until now I just have hosted 2 japanese people and we become friends. They told me if I come to Nara I should be staying at their home. I am exited to go to japan again and wonder how japanese live exactly is. In the meanwhile the timing is not good hosting people because either i was traveling when people asking for hosting or they found a host before I replied them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching every kind of movies, drama, thriller, syfy, movies that touch me. There are lots of movie soundtrack I can hear again and again until I get teary. My favorite composers are Ennio Morricone, Danny Elfman. By the way I love everything played by symphony orchestra, especially Brahms with his symphonies and violine concerts, oh of course Mendelsohn and Max Bruch.

I just finished a novel called Water music from T C Boyle and couldn't put it away. Once I read lots of chinese books, now it's time to take care the european literature. I want to read Les Misérables in french so much, and the whole work of Franz Kafka in German and at last T C Boyle in english.
