About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out what is really important in life.

ABOUT ME

Third year in college. Currently a Erasmus student in Cologne.

I'm trying to figure out what is really important for me in this world overwhelmed by information. I'm trying to figure out what is of genuine value in this world covered with price tags. I'm a student. I'd love to remain one always. Sometimes I'm caught by insecurity when too many question rushed to me altogether. But I think it's better than being blind to those questions and ignoring them-it is very hard to decide which one is worse.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep it real. Tear down the facade and the world will show its crude and unnverving face and then hopefully become more beautiful than ever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm living in a small dorm room so I can't offer a couch unless you don't mind spending the night in your sleeping bag on the floor, which my friend Shujin did once. But I'd love to meet up in Cologne and chat. If you need a guide I can help researching on the routes. Sorry I can't really claim that I know Cologne like the back of my hand. But I'll try my best to help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had any yet. Excited about the idea of it.
