About Me

CURRENT MISSION

yes, what's next...

ABOUT ME

i have 2 loves of my life, which are traveling and studying.

recently, thinking how turn knowledge to wisdom, maybe someone can give me some tips ;D

to me, body is evidence, everyone's body tells me story on how one arrive as being of NOW. I started my journey in search on how i exist as a particle of universe. How different layers of body exist in compose the "me" as it is. Yet, there's no me but we're all as one.

I work as a body facilitator, conveying messages of body to people's awareness, and try to bring harmony to body and mind and wish everyone can remain open to life. This is a parallel process for me to learn and understand the absolute of universe.

along my life, i'm lucky enough to tap into many different fields including corporate, beauty, gaming, art and media, and my body always driving me back to look back into myself. Into the infinite linkages between me and the outer world. The more i dig in, the more i become fascinated...in the end, perhaps there's no difference between inner and outer, as we exist and connected in the same container that known as universe.

PHILOSOPHY

to have a well-rounded exciting life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in hk my whole life. though many people think hong kong is no more then a "metropolitan" a city with sky scrapers. there are many facade in this little "pandora". nature, culture, parties, art, food and people, you name it we have it all, and of course, I love to invite people to come to my mom's home for home cooking!!! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
when i make travel plans, in most f the cases, "where i know people, when i go to!" that means i have to keep making friends. when know someone from the place, it's like you can naturally melt and sink into the places. like someone supporting you from the back, you feel safe but open to any experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

listen to anything please my ear

experience that open my senses

audio books is my favorite way to read, an interest recent love "the Tao of Pooh", "the biology of belief", "blink", "gift from the sea"
also difficult philosophy appears as comic form, "Huangdi neijing-canon of medicine", "yi jing", "foucult", "walter-benjamin"
recent film "in time", "king's speech", "a dangerous method"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

wah, there are many...recently, went camping in an island near one of the oldest village in Norway, lucky to catch a big fish, tried to take a dip (wooh! water was way too cold), bonfire, enjoying the beautiful color of nature, hanging out with cool local friends, amazing!

hitchhiking, glacier hiking, ayahuasca ceremony, bungee jumping...

Teach, Learn, Share

at the moment, fascinating with chinese medicine, might sound boring...amazing how our body is connected to everything in our world, every human being is constantly changing....can't separate with the chinese philosophy, everything in the world has yin and yang...yin and yang is constantly changing...

yes, that's the nature of our universe

would love to share some ideas on how body awareness could shift perspective of life, of course, would be nice to share some practical skill to relax our body, mind and spirit. and some practical tricks to treat yourself while there's any form of imbalance.

also, would be nice to share ideas on "eating as a form of medicine" with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to share anything I know..cooking, therapy, art, digital media, Mayan calendar, Chinese astrology, philosophy, culture, business...
