About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy my life, travling around the world, make friends with different people

ABOUT ME

A guy who likes something special~
Pretty easy going
Kind like a modern Gypsy, I'd like to travel around the world. Although my plan just began

The only thing is worthy being tried is something I never tried and might be trapped in uncertainty

PHILOSOPHY

be interested in and respect all I don't know.
Love and suffering from anything injustice drive me being active
Besides Chinese intellectuals, Jewish intellectuals affect me a lot! From Jesus to Karl Marx, from Rosa Luxemburg to Leon Trotsky and those anti-totalitarianists as well, such as Hannah Arendt, Karl Popper,Issac Berlin,Friedrich Hayek. The caution of the danger of pursuing Utopia and the dissatisfaction of the imperfect of the world and the human being drives me continue to think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am introduced by a lady who had amazing experience by CS

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Host
Sep 3rd 2013, I hosted a guy from Cincinnati who'd like to make a documentary movie about LGBT in the deep south, but one of my former roommates argued that I'm too crazy for hosting a LGBT activist, and prohibited me hosting anyone, that's part of the deep south anyway! It's the main reason why the record of my hosting ends, but I will continue hosting from moving out.
Jan 26,2013 to March 17 I hosted a girl from New York who tried to reconnect her boyfriend in Mobile, but unfortunately, she failed, and would like build connection here instead of going back to NY, and it was approved by my roommates that's why I hosted her so long.
During March 11th to 13th,2013, I host one guy from Orange county,CA and a lady from Atlanta.
On April 27th and 28th,2013 I hosted a guy from Germany
