ABOUT ME

energetic, fun loving, an aberrant sense of humor, meditative at times, also tend to like discussions of all sorts, interested in different points of view and perspectives in general.

my email is: swattie {a t} gmail [dot] com

PHILOSOPHY

to describe philosophy in this way is too ontical. I prefer to live it and feel it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My home in the U.S. is always open (when I'm there) and my family apartment in shanghai can also house people if you are interested.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was traveling, I was invited by people on the street in Iran to stay in their houses and chat about different things. I felt quite amazed by the degree of hospitality by the people and I want to reciprocate.

I signed up for CouchSurfing quite a while ago and I have just begun using it. I´m looking forward to learning from everyone.
