*** IMPORTANT NOTE

To preserve each other's time and prevent you from sending an unsuitable request, please note the following lessons that my experience with CS taught me:
- I handle solo travelers better
- I tend to prefer travelers who have a little experience (say at least 23 years old)
- I will have little interest in you if you haven't made the effort to fill in your profile or write a personal message

Meaning that if you haven't read this, I'll know, and you're bound to receive a template message for an answer ;) !

***

I am the missing link between man and ape. And probably closer to apes.

I take everything very seriously and am no fun at all. People have been known to enter deep states of depression by doing as little as laying their eyes on a picture of me. If you're expecting any laughs, please refrain from contacting me and directly call my lawyer.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Airbnb transformed into commercial transactions what could (should?) have remained open, friendly exchanges only. I like the idea that there exists a community of people who can share experiences and help each other out without adding money to the equation.

兴趣

My list of possibles hobbies is long. Almost every entry of the dictionary may qualify. That's a lot of pages!

But I'm particularly interested in science, psychology, politics...

音乐、电影和书籍

Like everyone, I love reading movies, listening to books and watching music.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

This morning, I managed to come out of bed less than 10 minutes after the alarm clock started ringing. Amazing!

Fun facts:
- My best New Year's Eve was in a monastery in China going to bed at 9:30pm after a day of walking in (and under) the snow
- I survived a kalashnikov attack in Tajikistan
- I took care of a puma with one arm in a sling
- I published a book on body language and the psychology of emotions :)

教，学，和分享

I could possibly try and teach you how to read, but then I guess you already know that, right?

Ok, I did work as a trainer in negotiation and conflict management. So I'm interested in interpersonal relationships and will gladly discuss the topic with you.

Also, I can read words backwards in my mind. Seriously. Like, for example, "radar." Once reversed, it becomes: "radar." Right, maybe not the best example. Another one: "desserts" (something I like). Reversed: "stressed" (something I am not very often). Ok, still not very impressive, I know, but that's because it's in writing - you should see me perform live. It never fails to impress my friends. For, like, 30 seconds.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Stories. I love stories. I write novels and scripts. Do you want to be the main character in my next story :) ?
