About Me

Journalist, humanist, activist, and student of life. I love COOKING, and I can cook for you. I made my own recipe, and I'm in love with my knives.
I'm so very flexible person ( I guess), open-minded (I think), independent (hopefully), and good listener.
I love arts and paints, a strong believer in nihilism and absurdism, love philosophy, logic and don't believe in news. I'm complex between politics, coffee, newspaper.
I don't judge, and I hate any judgmental.
I live between utopia and dystopia....
Always in a decolonizing mission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, why not?
I think the entire concept of life is experience as itself and the ultimate of it all is the people as a whole. Without people there is no meaning in life! Without society, no human would ever exist and without culture, there is no music!

People are the form that fluid our living nature.
People are my meditation. Every person has a different perspective no matter what!

All human beings are equal in gender, class, and race.
Life is too short to confine one perspective.
I'm looking forward to surfing and couching!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love writing.
I teach people how to speak the truth and not to judge.
Objectivity is a myth.
Truth is skeptical.
Belief is a joke.
Science is politics.
Good coffee is what all matter!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My thoughts, coffee and politics!
I like to share experience and knowledge. I don't like to argue, but like to listen to an argument. I want you to convince me about your theology, ideology, philosophy and your politics.
Even if you don’t like coffee, I still like you! Even if you don’t like talking about politics, then let’s have another fun subject. Life is just too simple, don’t make it complicated!

I share with you my coffee and my recipes. I’ll make you a meal or two. And a muffin to go, too...
