Someone said I should check out my Mayan horoscope. I did. It's Storm/Rain: friendly, spiritual, even healing, but sometimes patronizing and inflexible (a typical ESFJA). Funny! I found it very accurate. They say I'm relaxed, attentive, reliable and kind-hearted. Or at least my girlfriend thinks these! :)

So I had to learn to challenge my boundaries. Talk to strangers. Meditating. Improvising. Constant revival.

The boring stuff: I'm 29, male, tall, straight and I embrace inclusivity. Welcome LGBTQ people :) My (facial) hair changes as I'm getting older. Now it's pre-Qin Chinese style! I work at a private secondary school. I'm an educator. I give lectures on Asian culture, teach amateur acting and some Mandarin Chinese.

> I'm the extracullicular type of guy
> I do improvisational theather, story games & tabletop rpgs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met CS in 2008, before the 'boom' and fell in love with it.

Unfortunately after a year I had to leave Couchsurfer lifestyle because I went back to dorm. For I couldn't host for years, I also quited being a guest.

I've only come back recently when I was in Taiwan for a summer trip. CS changed a lot and it's even cooler!

Interests

Conversation > Debate

A good talk could help me understand people and discover new things. Actually I often find the forming connection between people to be more interesting than their actual topic. I had wonderful discussions about weather with great people. So everything you like to talk about is fine.

• dancing
• teaching

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned to be an everyday hero by Zimbardo (Heroic Imagination Project)

Actually no! Maybe starting to grasp the nibbanic truth is even better... Anicca!

Teach, Learn, Share

When I was a teenager I only listened to blackmetal. Now I just want to dance like this: https://youtu.be/6XCcWlgVqHA?t=1m40s

Students always ask me crazy good questions like 'How to get a girlfriend?' 'How to manage myself?' 'What's the meaning of life?' While searching for answers I learn new things every day. I'm happy to share with you everything I know.
