An exchange student currently residing in the US, I am a passionate seeker of beauty, too desirous of too many things to put in this box, and lover of delicate words and thoughts. I appreciate nice manners and simplicity and despise cowardice, conformity and the lack of empathy.

One thing I would REALLY love to do before I die is to ride a motorcycle along the Great Wall of China (yes, I know it's illegal)! :)

My motto: "Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry".
And one more reference to Kerouac: I have nowhere to go but everywhere. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling is the most ennobling instance of human experience.
