CURRENT MISSION

Pursue my dreams and make a career out of my current PhD research

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I love to meet new people and exchange thoughts, discussions on each other's lives. I find that too many people base their own judgement on a single pre-constructed idea and few dare to go out there and see with their own eyes.

When I was backpacking around Ireland in the summer 2006, I met an old Englishman who told me this "there are two types of persons in this world: the tourist who stays in a bus for a whole week and claims he knows this or that country. And then, there is the independent traveller, who uses his own feet and try to get a glimpse of the culture of the said country by meeting and staying with the locals.
I have made my choice ever since...On CS we're all Independent Travellers looking not only for shelter but for a mutual experience.
