Overview
About Me
Originally from China, lived and studied for a couple of years in Europe and will soon get my bachelor degree in Hellenic studies and Greek philology.
A breakfast-lover and Spotify playlist thief ;D
blind when take shower, able to walk for long distance without getting tired at all, normally desperate and culturally confused, short-term pessimistic and long-term optimistic.
I'm interested in various stuff, including and not limited to literature, philosophy, gender studies, international politics, animal rights, the state of being tipsy, wandering on midnight streets, musing in desolate nature, chasing sunsets, people-watching and exploring my potential trying new things.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
People are important constituent of this world, so traveling without talking to locals is just vanity.
I used to be bit shy and reserved when "hit on" or "accost" people , but clicked afterwards that the worst could ever happen to me is death (please don't say it's being rejected lol) and death is coming anyway, so there’s hardly any reason be timid.
Plus, when talking to those who are time zones different from me, I feel that I'm living an alternative life, imaginarily experiencing some moments from another galaxy. Beautiful, innit?
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies and TV shows:
-- Rick and Morty: "Nobody belongs anywhere, nobody exists on purpose, come and watch tv."
---French New Wave: All films directed by Agnes Varda and Jean-Luc Godard :P
—- The life changing movie of my life would definitely be: Into the Wild.
-- Standup comedies. Simon Amstel and the golden British boy Daniel Sloss are my recent favorites :D
Pieces of music:
All kinds of beautiful sounds, including the noise of gentle tides and a missing heartbeat.
RnB, Soul, Brit-pop, Shoe-gaze, Punk, Rock....blah blah
Beach House (That's how I get to know dream-pop ), Sufjan Stevens, Donald Glover, Snow Patrol, Cigarettes after Sex, twenty-one Pilots, Natalie Prass, Issac Gracie, Placebo, The Verve, Blur, Blood Orange, Honne, Young the Giant, Radiohead, Coldplay.....
But actually a really really freshman in music)
