I am an artisan with an academic background, looking for ways to make the world peaceful and better place. Always up for a new discovery, be it up in the mountains or out on the high seas, both metaphorically and physically. I value curiosity very much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The Master said: 學而時習之，不亦悅乎？有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？
To learn and then to share what one has learnt, is that not a pleasure?
To have friends come from afar, is that not delightful?

hosted in Prague, Paris and Tokyo
surfed in Paris, Tokyo and Shanghai
