Studied and lived in Hunan, Tianjin, Beijing and Madrid. Currently running an independent film production company and starting up an NPO for intercultural and multidisciplinary dialogue between East and West.

Peaceful and tidy, respectful to all religions and cultures, interested in psychology, philosophy, arts, history and languages. Non-smoker, non-alcoholic, self-made tea sommelier, vegan, so if you like to try some Chinese tea or vegan dishes I would be happy to prepare.

I can be a very discreet person : I always bring my sleeping bag when I couch-surf. If you host me, don't feel you must share all your time with me. I'm an autonome guy, so even a few advises is enough, though I'll be glad if you show me around.

I can't accept any request from 10 Aug to 20 Sept., because I'll be traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share my home with amazing people from different beliefs and cultures.
To visit other countries and cities by the hand of natives or locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

August 2007, cycled the Camino Francés alone in 13 days. I was chilled to the bones at midnight by some nearby wolf howling, on my way from Saint Jean to Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees.

March 2014, I had an experience of consciousness expansion during a whole week, there was a very inspiring message: WE are ONE and LOVE is UNCONDITIONAL.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cuisine, tea culture, meditation skills, spiritual insights, anything else that we were inspired of.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Tea and vegan dishes;
- Housework;
- My favorite quote from Albert Einstein: “A human being is a part of the whole called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
