About Me

Simply a wanderer who wants to live his one life to many lives through different cultures! Always delighted to find myself in different soils on which human culture can be grown.

Was born in Hong Kong and raised in Shanghai, regard myself as "local" in both cities. Worked as a delivery boy, barista, investment bank intern, office clerk and PR intern during the years. After spending years in Wuhan, Seoul and Hong Kong for university studies, I've found myself a constant solo traveller who always seems to know more about the diversity of culture and the possibilities of mankind, and through that, knowing more about myself.

Working in an international art gallery now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Conversations between people who have different cultural backgrounds can be very inspirational, for both. And sometimes chemistry happens!

Interests

I've always been a keen enthusiast for both classical and contemporary art, anthropological and ethnological studies, art history, cultural and religious studies, as well as many other related subjects.

Music, Movies, and Books

For books, except for those about arts, history and anthropological studies, I've also been strongly captivated by the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Friedrich Nietzsche and Chinese writer Muxin [木心] who all helped shape my values and tastes.

For movies, my favorite directors so far are Krzysztof Kieslowski, Abbas Kiarostami and Roy Anderson. It would be quite a long list to talk about favorite ones, especially when the list is expanding. And I'm still on the way to explore more independent films, as well as documentaries.
