About Me

Who am I? I'm an international student studying in Italy.

Want to hear something trippy? I had a dream, in that dream, I was facing myself at 60, the old me was struggling with illness, painkillers, trouble sleeping, life, kids, and so on so on. I saw the light was fading away in his eyes, I asked him what I can do that would make him feel better. He wants me to do nothing but bring more memories to him, memories are tasty more than desserts, offering him the strength against all the misfortune. When I woke up the second day morning, watching the sunrise from the horizon, I never felt that young before.

After that, I started my lonely journey, traveling alone, meeting new friends, and saying hello to them and then goodbye later. got my phone robbed at Milano bus station at the midnight, and try to find a way home in the dark. Sleeping in a barn in Switzerland. Under limited budget and trying to find a place to sleep that I could afford... I couldn't get away with the chaos, so I tried to learn how to live with it and accept it because I want to do nothing but generate and bring more memories for the 60-year-old me.

Couchsurfing never let me down, I always collect my Couchsurfing experiences into good memories.

CURRENT MISSION
(2022):
Traveling around Eastern Europe, try to find the best summer of my entire life.
Switzerland will be my first station, then Austria, Hungary, Slovensko, Česko, and Poland...I didn't plan the next station after Poland, hope I can figure it out on the road.
(2024):
Graduation Trip

PHILOSOPHY:
"Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne,
He travels the fastest who travels alone."

"When you write down everything you have, you get a list,
When you write down every experience you have, you get stories."

I don't have much time left in Europe and I want to travel as much as I can in this beautiful land and try things I had never done before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to share different stories with people from different countries, It has already opened my mind about the whole world. I tried living in hostels on my last Croatia and Montenegro trip, I've met wonderful people all the way, and I think it's time for me to experience couch surfing way.
