About Me

CURRENT MISSION

hang around with awesome people as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

Trying to stay as conscious as possible while working with an international company here in Shanghai. My mind is sometimes burried in philosophy and the talks of life. Just doing the best I can on a daily basis. Not worrying too much about the future and doing anything and everything I can to make right now happen.

All people welcome!

PHILOSOPHY

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are right.

Change is progressive.

There are and always will be too many variables...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

not traveling much at the moment, so its nice to have people come visit on their travels so that my roomies and I can live vicariously through you lucky ones.

and of course... rock and roll

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hosted a few couch surfers here and there and would love to help out some more fellow adventurers.

Interests

I wake up to my favorite tunes, like to play sports, although not enough playing lately, i love the mountains, but live in a concrete jungle. i play pool, smoke cigarettes, smile and dance because it is enough common ground to communicate with most of the world. Books are good on long train and bus rides... and yeah Chinese language and culture.
