PHILOSOPHY

"Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow." Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I just want to enjoy this journey and meet lots of interesting people.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in the couchsurfing mission, and strive to use this website in a way that helps create meaningful connections.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had three couchsurfers stay with me and I've only stayed with one myself, but all visits have been such a great experience! It really helps restore my faith in humanity...
