About Me

Curious big dreamer... trying to figure out what’s the meaning of human life in the era of AI

ABOUT ME HOSTING

My apartment is very close to the old town and the castle. For hosting I have one comfy couch - which is unfortunately only enough for one surfer.

If we both have time, I'd love to take a stroll with you in the beautiful Nuremberg old town and show you my favorite café. Apart from that, I'm more laid back and prefer a good talk over a glass of wine.

Being passionate about cooking, what I'd truly appreciate from you would be a recipe / joint-cooking of your favorite dish from your hometown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS gives a homey touch to a foreign city while surfers give me the feelings that I've known them for ages. It's such a genuine community that I'd love to share as much as I possess.

Interests

Being very faithful to my asian heritage, I love cooking and experimenting combinations of exotic spices.
I'm also learning guitar with the goal of singing on the street musician festival in nuremberg - the “Bardentreffen”.
More nerdy side of me: I’m intrigued by everything about artificial intelligence and its social impact. I’m an advocate of technology for its power of eliminating poverty at the bottom of the pyramid.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, soul, acoustic, bossa nova, blues rock... I love different music for different mood, the melody just has to be right.

I love movies with great stories: David Lynch, Guy Richie, Tarantino, Ang Lee, Wong Kai Wai, Milos Forman, Hayao Miyazaki. I adore movies with endless yet witty talks. My time is also always available for a good documentary film.

Books about psychology, sociology, philosophy and anthropology intrigue me the most. Sometimes I also enjoy a tragic love story.
