CURRENT MISSION

Adventure & Exploration

ABOUT ME

I am very chill and not much of a partyer. I like new situations and unexpected challenges. I try to appreciate different types of people and different ways of thinking.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think of myself as a minimalist with a passion for information. I am on a journey to obtain horizontal knowledge and experiences. I hope to try my hand at many different jobs and gain knowledge in many different disciplines. I am very much into balance and consistency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing for now, hosting later when I get settled down again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite CouchSurfing experience is learning new things about people and places. Specifically, I enjoy experiencing local life outside the standard tourist route.

Interests

Gaming, political discussion, reading, hiking, jogging, bicycling, gardening, cooking and dining. I also maintain a personal website and server as a side hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, Brazil
Music: Pat Metheny, Thievery Corporation, Ben Liebrand
Books: Hyperion, Neuromancer, Watchmen (comic)

Despite having jaded views of mass media, I actually like most forms of media and will take enthusiastic recommendations readily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing thing done: Bike tour along the California coast from Rancho Cucamonga, down to Long Beach, up to Point Reyes Station in 2010.
Most amazing thing seen: Budapest, castle & skyline, during nighttime is simply unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lacking any real entertainment skill such as musicianship or acrobatics, the best I can offer is teaching some Python programming language. I still need to upgrade myself with transferable skills.
