About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a easy-going guy and love to laugh. I always enjoy meeting people from all different cultures, which motivated me to start a nomadic life. When I was traveling for 7 months, 4 years ago, I found my mission to address urban issues in underserved communities around the world. That became the reason why I decided to do a master's degree. Currently I am focusing on affordable housing development and preservation.
I love to hike snowy mountains (but I only made it to base camps so far), watch stunning landscapes. I also have a never-ending interest in Tibetan and Latin culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't hesitate to do the things that I can do now or never.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live with roommates who need a quiet sanctuary after a long day in the city so cannot really host. :/ But I can show you around the city when I'm free, especially where the locals go or help you to find affordable yet good food.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS was in San Francisco - I met a great host and we had great conversations. Even though we never met before, the host offered everything a cs host could. Then I realized that I could do the same thing to others - no matter what I currently have, I can always help some others in need.
