CURRENT MISSION

"deep down I just wanted to be a poem"

ABOUT ME

“I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.”
- Franz Kafka

(vegan) food addict, aspiring writer. I like (day)dreaming, yoga, meditation, drinking matcha latte and herbal tea, reading, cooking, eating, good conversations, writing, singing, traveling, cycling and I love music and movies.

when I grow up I want to be a writer, living with cats in a wooden house near the forest, and become an avid lucid dreamer who's specialised in traveling to other universes.

PHILOSOPHY

“I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.”
― Sylvia Plath

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my first couchsurfing experience was in Shanghai, and for me it was a great way of exploring the city. it was truly wonderful to feel so alive amidst a city that you don't know. I've also couchsurfed in Japan and Taiwan, where I met wonderful people and had very unique experiences. one host took me to a secluded hot spring in the mountains in Taiwan, that was very cool!
