Hi there, my names Kai.

I’m an athletic, conscientious and compassionate, healthy food cooking, music, film and photography loving, culture questioning, truth seeking individual who derives happiness through people, travel and learning.

I’m into cycling, running, rock climbing, philosophy, psychology, early childhood development, economics, politics, science, technology and the natural world.

I’ve been travelling since October 2016.

And I’m currently visiting Sarajevo.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with people from around the world and learn about and share some of the places and experiences that locals tend to know about!

Some of my favourite quotes:

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of babies - God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

"Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values." - Ayn Rand

"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." - Terrence McKenna

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I did a ten day completely silent Vipassana meditation workshop a couple of years ago. It was challenging but quite rewarding.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I’m interested philosophy, science, politics, economics, photography, films, music, travelling and all things bikes, and I'm always happy to talk about and share what I can on those topics and more.

I'm a bike mechanic by day, so I'm happy to help with any bike related issues.
