I love the beach and the mountain. There was a time when I would see to it that every weekend I’d be either beach-bumming with a book in one hand and a beer in another, or mountain-hiking with friends enjoying amazing landscapes and basking in the fresh air.

I also love the city. I prefer walking/biking around cities and towns to get to know them better. I visit local museums, local markets/stores, and sometimes just people-watch.

I believe that traveling is a state of mind and a lifestyle. I always experience a different sense of joy and accomplishment whenever I set foot to a new place I’ve never been to.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to meet as many people as possible, from different parts of the world, from all walks of life. The world is such a huge place and there are so many interesting individuals in it with great stories to share. I'm here to make friends and to enrich my life experiences.

Also, when I visit a new place, I not only want to see the must-sees and do the must-dos, but, more importantly, I want to have a glimpse of and experience the local life and culture. What better way to do that than to stay with locals and make good friends with them.

音乐、电影和书籍

I listen to all kinds of music! But just to give you an idea of my listening routine, here’s a typical day with me and music: as soon as I wake up in the morning, I listen to electronic dance music (EDM) to give me a boost of energy or to any feel-good pop music for a dose of good vibes. While I study or work, I listen to classical music – Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, etc. I’ve read somewhere that they help you concentrate and be more productive, and I feel that they really do! At night before I sleep, I listen to smooth jazz/bossa nova or to RnB, ideally with a glass of wine to relax and unwind. In between the day, I listen to a lot of John Mayer, The Chainsmokers, Drake, Eminem, Daft Punk, etc.

Some of my favourite movies are: Fight Club; Limitless; The Shawshank Redemption; Into the Wild; Requiem for a Dream; Pineapple Express; Inception; Gladiator; Closer; Slumdog Millionaire; Irreversible; The Hangover; V for Vendetta; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; August Rush; Crash; Dead Poets Society; John Q.

My favourite TV shows are: Friends; Band of Brothers; Entourage; House of Cards; Prison Break; Misfits; Boston Legal; Big Bang Theory; Just for Laughs Gags.

My favourite books are: The Fountainhead; And The Mountains Echoed; The Alchemist. I also read non-fiction.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Went to the crater of a volcano somewhere in the Visayas, riding a motorcycle that I just rented. I was alone.

On the way to the crater, it rained cats and dogs and, because of the slippery, muddy trails, I almost fell off of a ravine. The crater was worth the risk -- it was so serene and misty. I even got to ride a raft from one bank of the crater to another.
