CURRENT MISSION

Open to the world, I want to change the world in my own way

ABOUT ME

I want to change the world in my own way.

I left Beijing when I was a child and moved to Montreal. I've lived here ever since and I'm currently studying medicine at McGill University. Philosophy, neuroscience, psychiatry "neuropsychopharmacology" are also what interest me the most at this time. So is traveling!

PHILOSOPHY

Humans are inherently good, and bad actions are justified because of lack of authenticity.

Do no harm.

Self-improvement drives me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I might open up a couch to interesting persons who want to come visit Montréal, a beautiful city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in New York City once! It has been great and am looking forward to visiting the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a shit beside the Great Wall of China, it was a place with no tourists around and I really couldn't hold it in, traveler's diarrhea and all.

This sounds actually quite bad.
