Overview
About Me
*** I'm currently out of country and all messages will be replied after I get home! Sorry!!! ***
Very open minded. Minimalist (both physically and mentally). Curious on many different things, a tech-nerd who loves hiking, living with 20 different animals (yes I'm an animal lover!).
I am a freelance translator in IT working from home, or often on travel.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I always meet wonderful people every time I travel, and I often get invited to their homes. This absolutely highlights my trips and I can't think of any better way to learn local cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love music and It's really hard to name just a few artists - I really love different kinds equally from Chopin to KISS to NY House. Jazz too of course.
Movies - I'm a big fan of Fellini and Alejandro Jodorovsky. I'm more into non-hollywood movies I think, I love splatter horror too.
Books - Literature, literature, and literature. I love the beauty of words and languages.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There've been too many amazing moments in my life, but 2 things really changed my lifestyle.
One is when I decided to let 95% of my stuffs go and started to live just simple. My life got absolutely richer with less stuff.
Another sparkle moment was a jungle camp I've done in Borneo. I spent a few days right by the river surrounded by thousands of birds, monkeys and olangutans, cool reptiles and bizarre insects. This taught me the beauty of nature and I became a hiker.
