Hey, guys! I am a 24y/o psychology graduate student, with a profound interest in peace & conlfict research, globalization and human rights
resulting from a hunger for the world, a craving to know and see as much as one human can in this life ...

I am also a passionate photographer in my freetime

I am totally new to Couchsurfing, but I am really looking forward to it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to travel in Southeast Asia (1. Vietnam, 2. Thailand, 3. Cambodia, 4. Indonesia, 5. Singapore) and I would like to be closer to the people and the culture so I would prefer couchsurfing over hostels and hotels

I am very new to Couchsurfing, so my profile is not done yet :) please don't hesitate if you have any questions!

MEET PEOPLE and hang out :) especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City where I will be studying for 2 weeks each :) I hope to see you there!

I will update my profile and trip dates continuously ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie?Hm.. I enjoyed 'Dead at a Funeral' with Peter Dinklage so much, I watched it six times so far...

My favourite books are 'Hard Boild Wonderland & The End of th World' and 'White Oleander'

I am inspired by Murakami Haruki, Jon Kalman Stefansson, Janet Fitch, and some others..

oh, and I adore poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

bathing in a hot river in Iceland during a snow storm

Teach, Learn, Share

as an artistic soul I hope to learn from others from their creative ways, and give back what I am passionate about... photography, drawing, painting

I am also an Aikidoka, so if you're interested in exchanging some martial arts skills I would be more than happy :)

heated discussions about world politics and social inequality? count me in ;)
