ABOUT ME ♞

#tattoo #mural #novel #music #gallery

I AM TAIWANESE!

--------------------------------------------------
Since 2015 I've been based in India, check out my drawing project with street kids!

At the beginning of my staying in Varanasi, just like everyone else, sitting by the beautiful Ganga amaze how powerful, lively it is. then I start drawing, thinking will be nice to draw with other people, an idea came to me
"it will be super cool if I could start a street gallery!"
this is my way of worshiping Ganga River!

we all expecting somebody gonna change the world, a better world, well just start it now! every of us can do something!
why I'm doing this?
I wanna be a seed, if my project could put another seed in other's hearts, grow another idea of hope, then all of this is worthy!

Here's the Facebook link, feel free to like/share to your friends!

--------------------------------------------------

As a nomad I move every 3 or 4 months to a new city or country. I'm leaving, I'm always on the road.

Money isn't the thing makes the entire world works, love and trust do. I'm working on it, i wanna become a better person. (you know you always could be better and better, also in many different ways)

--------------------------------------------------

I take hitchhiking as a new way of travelling.
"where are you going?"
"i don't know, anywhere west?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet people, to share stories and space.

except for people keep on sending harassing message, NO, NO, NO! cs is a place to help each other out, is like to see a friend you have never met before, not for getting girl to your bed, if that will happen that will happen naturally, is true you find a lot of like minded people here, but not when you use cs for any evil purpose.
