About Me

Travelling from Tokyo→Romania(Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca)→Lisbon→London
I'm going to Romania to go to a music festival called electric castle where a friend of mine, a noise artist, is performing. After that, a friend of mine, a mathematician, is going to a conference in Lisbon, so I'm going with him. Then I'm going to London to visit a friend who is making a documentary about an autonomous region in Northern Syria called rojava.

I’m an aspiring grad student interested in philosophy and religion.
I like to start projects with people and create something together. Whether it is a religious cult, an art project, zine making, whatever it is, I enjoy it.
I rather like a stimulating life, and I like to attack mountain passes by car at night, organize parties with a concept, heated political debates, and extreme sports. However, as a fourth-year undergraduate, I usually spend a lot of time reading and talking to people. I like both novels and philosophy books that manipulate abstract concepts.
I was a student political activist until a few years ago. I joined a secret far-left organization and spent my life organizing demonstrations. Now I am interested in something a little more academic.

What inspires me the most is when I travel and hear from people who have different life experiences than I do. I cherish the moments when I am surprised and moved by people's stories, whether they have made courageous choices or have been in danger.

Topics I'm interested in :
travel stories, comedy, life choices, cooking,
Food and culture, sports (climbing, mountaineering, swimming), electronic music (techno, house, jungle, punk rock), even politics and religion!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply because I love meeting local people! Reading guidebook is good, reading about local areas is also good but the best places I've visited so far, I got the information from either local people or backpackers at the hostel.
