About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Visit as many places as possible!
ABOUT ME
I originally moved overseas after I graduated high school. Three years later and I still live in Beijing, and have been traveling all over intermittently. I always strive to keep an open mind and to meet new people and have new experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
-Hunter S. Thompson
If an interesting opportunity comes along, I always try to take it, just to see what'll happen.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I sometimes stay on other people's couches. I would like to open my couch to travelers but my current apartment is not big enough :(
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've only couchsurfed once so far, and I got to meet some awesome people in Jiangxi, China. I still keep in touch with them to this day.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Hip Hop, Electronic stuff (dubstep, house, DnB, etc), classic rock
Movies: I'm a big film fan. It would be hard for me to pin down any favorites but I love repeat viewings of the movies I like most.
Books: I like to read, especially non-fiction, because I like to learn new things. My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut.
