CURRENT MISSION

To travel is not only to connect to places but also to gain friends. My mission is to provide heartfelt and sincere accommodation to surfers and to become a tourist and a traveler all combined.

I am a lawyer who finds joy in reading and writing. For me, writing represents a form of liberation—a means to document my journeys and challenges, to encapsulate moments in time and embrace the present fully. I don't smoke. On occasion, I indulge in beer, wine, rum, or other spirits. I prioritize my health by visiting the gym for workouts, although not as frequently as I used to.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the idea that "good things come to those who wait but greater things come to those who get off their ass and do anything to make it happen." You got to do what you have to do. Act on it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2014: I did a 3-week backpacking journey wandering Vietnam-Cambodia and Thailand route and I had a blast! I was fortunate to have experienced couchsurfing hospitality in Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, Dalat, Ho Chi Minh and Pnomh Penh.

November 2016: Backpacking Singapore-Malaysia-Myanmar-Thailand for 2 weeks

April 2019: I traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal and I had a great time.

教，学，和分享

Maybe I'd like to share my thoughts about how to develop complex game-theoretical models or understand the generalized axiom of revealed preference (Kidding!)

I'd love to exchange some cultural similarities and differences, to talk silly and intently. Whatever floats your boat. But I do respect privacy too. That's very important.
