ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I believe in doing a job that you love. I build software systems and love doing it.

I like to stay healthy by exercising through sport and eating proper meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables. In my spare time when I relax, I like to watch movies, tv shows, and documentaries (especially food, travel, and history). Overall, I'm a pretty low-key person who likes to conserve energy, relax, and hang out. Life is all about balance and there must be enough rest to recover from all of the other activities of every day life.

PHILOSOPHY

This single piece of advice given by a therapist in a movie has been very inspiring to me. "Figure out what you want, and learn how to ask for it." - James L. Brooks, [movie title:] How do you Know, 2010

Another wise woman once said: "Life is like photography, you work on the negatives"

Steps to achieve anything:
1. vision
2. strategy
3. belief
4. courage

My life philosophy and strategy:
1. Understand everyone
2. Accept everyone
3. Do no harm
4. Do something generative

Steps to maximize a healthy long life
1. Sleeping on time
2. Eat the right foods
3. Doing what makes you happy
4. Exercising every muscle
5. Visualizing before doing
6. Deciding your actions on the probabilities of increasing and decreasing your lifespan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to give and take -- this means I plan to travel the world, to surf couches as well as to host.

Why I like couchsurfing is because I get to meet exciting, passionate, and engaging people who love to show people their city and culture.
