I'm an American-born Chinese guy traveling through Asia in search of the right direction in life. I'm a political junkie, a science nerd, and an overall dork. Trying to experience everything this world has to offer. I eat my way through cities and have a huge weakness for milk tea.

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
-Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

"Then, we warriors of light must be prepared to have the patience in difficult times and to know that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how."
-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm want to meet new people from all different walks of life. Every person on this Earth has a story to tell. I'm happy to listen and offer one in return.

Some advice and a little guidance from a local would be great. And spare couch to sleep on for the night would be very much appreciated ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
