About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting the journey of Permanent Head Damage

ABOUT ME

I am Ph.D student doing research in Behavioral Economics.

I like meeting interesting people from all over the world, and like to travel around as well.

All of my previous couch-surfing experience were nice and hope more would come soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to find the way of living that I am most comfortable with, and change it from now to then.

Usually we get bored about things which first appeared to be exited and quite different from our daily life, however, what remain in our life at last, are those daily routines, like eating, sleeping, chatting with friends. So I don't mind repeating. But I don't like to lead a life with no deviation from its track. Some stochastics is needed in my life.

Therefore, I am quite a Parodox

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience started before I joint CS. I was first couched when I visited Copenhagen in April 2009, and that was really a nice experience.

With my former roommate, I hosted a Mexican, a couple from Brussels, and a Korean in our apartment, but at that time, I was not using this website. The most surprising but happy thing was that the first couch surfer we accommodated was born on the same date with me, and having dinner with him triggered my interest in Mexican food.

Now, I start to use CS to meet more people, while staying in Amsterdam, and travelling around the world.
