About Me

ABOUT ME

An earthling, slowly and gradually discovering who I really am and what I am aiming at in life. Happy to be alive and feel the pulsating energy force when I wake up every day. Learning to master self-mockery, I am getting at it.

PHILOSOPHY

To be present, to fully feel your senses and encompass all into your whole being. Always contemplate, be introspective and ask questions, beware of my presence and embrace people fully I meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's the way to immerse in locals' home and a country's culture, customs, history, etc., as simple as that.

Interests

Soy Latte. Filter Coffee. Film photography, every trivial thing in life makes me happy like smelling the aroma of coffee, the reflection of sun shone on my face, breathing the after-rain scent. Community living and reading. Wander and roam everywhere and breathe deeply. Observe and blend in. Interacting with people. Hoping to live every moment and to pay attention to every detail in life. Creativity, history and culture of human beings are so captivating and fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many. But of course I also embrace different varieties of music, movies and books.
Genres are being reinvented every now and then. Whatever I listen, watch or read will make me associate it with my real life or I just go with the downward spiral and dwell in the fantasy world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in Lentil As Anything in Melbourne (until now), google this amazing vegetarian/vegan pay-as-you-want restaurant.
Busking with my flower sticks (a bit out of practice now)
Admiring the coastal outskirts of the north-western tip in Tasmania
Road tripping in Iceland, beyond surreal

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories from people I met and am going to meet in my life. Let me tell you my stories too. Mere verbal exchanges is already a powerful tool to get to know the vast cultural and life experiences from others.
If you wanna have some language exchange sessions, ie learning Cantonese or Mandarin from me I am more than willing to participate!
Also if you want to learn how to play flower sticks I can teach you a bit ;)
I have a solid knowledge of coffee making as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, pretty pleasant vibes, mutual respect, culture exchange, music/books/movies/articles I like. Also broadly speaking, the purpose of life. I'm down for sharing everything you want to know basically.
