About Me

I always need to feed myself with adventure and excitement, an ambitious goal, otherwise I will feel loose purpose of life...in other words, I need always make a carrot in front of myself, and do some auto-feeding...

I'm a nice human, very curious, respectful , sometimes bold. I love travel, it's like a drug! The more travel the more I can't stop to travel...

I read a lots of information on internet and I'm information polluted...well , a little bit, I think I still have part of my brain and soul functioning, so still alive as a human full of energy and spirit.

I very appreciate people from different culture and background. I'm a cosmopolitan sort.

I Lived in a lots of places,
Home town (18 years). Yunnan Kunming (China): 5 years. Beijing 1 year, Paris 2.5 year, Clement Ferrand(France) 4 months, Caen(France) 8 month, Geneva(Switzerland) 2 years, Shanghai 10 month, Shenzhen 7 month, Brugge(Belgium) 3 month, Lausanne ( 5 months)...and later maybe will be Shenzhen again?


And my little dirty secrets here :
1, I'm an Alien spy who looking for homo sapiens on earth, i like interesting ppls who have lots of interesting information to share...I like to communciate . ;D

2, I'm a speculative/interaction designer, media artist who create devices that only exist in sci-fi, I write sci-fi as well. So you could see I'm a half day-dreamer and always fascinate by random unique things :D

3, I love science and all these shit...So I pretending as a scientific diplomate and citizen scientist, science-tech forecasting. I'm a fake-scientist...hehe
I wandering around some citizen science, fablabs, startup hub, research labs, hackerspace, scientific institutions and conferences in all continent(if i have time and money)...I gathering intelligence and information, just to feed my curiosity blackhole.

4, I earn my life through working on some freelance projects like graphic, UX/UI design, and all related. I also do data visualizations, interface for API and APP...etc, stuff like that...

Some random thoughts.... :D

I think we human become more and more multi-dimensional and you will agree with me that nobody could describe oneself in few sentences...This is so old fashion...Oh yes, we need invent a "machine" to diagnostic all our information and visualize instantly...include all the DNA sequences, personality, experiences, personal wills...etc...

Yes, it's obvious, you could see, i'm a bit crazy and positively strange, but I'm generally very kind and respectful. I'm a certificated good human being.

I'm curious and love all the shit about science technology, innovation, new media art, design..My interests is too wide so i can only call myself an interdisciplinary researcher...And I dig all the things around...Truth, knowledges, insight, gold, reasons, meanings, intelligence, logic....etc

PHILOSOPHY

ahhh...Quite a Richard Dawkins fan!
I think I'm a world citizen.
I hate country border, administration, old social system...
Ernest Shackleton (and many others) is my heor, I love expedition if I have chance.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

occasionally

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is a special world/community.
I participate it from time to time, and check how it been morphing through the time. It's a social experiment. Yes, life is an experimental journey for me (but i do have some blurry goal)...which probably unable to explained by the string theory or quantum physics.
