About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Bring joy to people around me. That's what I'm best at.
To boldly go, where I have never thought of going before.

A dry sense of humor, that's me :D Never bored and my mind seems never short of funny ridiculous and crazy ideas. Usually people are shocked and then burn into laughters. That's always the amazing moment. Other than that, I am a very straight forward person. In a way, I think straightforwardness leads to more efficient communication. There are lots of ambiguities and uncertainties in life. But at least, communication shouldn't block people from better understanding each other.

p.s. LGBT-friendly.

PHILOSOPHY
Laughter is the best addiction in the world.
simplicity and zen
Life is a river, you know where it's going to end, but you don't know what it's going to bring you along the way.
A decent sleep, a good meal, a beautiful sight, a funny idea, a good pedicure are few of the things that can drive away all my worries.
Keep calm and drink tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It all started out simple. There I was planning on my next trip one day. I was still studying and didn't have much time for part-time working. With a budget less likely, I knew I had to do something to survive a total stay of one month out there. Someone recommended me Couchsurfing so here I was.

Interests

Brain science and cosmology.
If you have the hots for old-school rock, bring it on.
I love landscapes.
I love architecture.
Undying love for glaciers and fjords.
Obsession with lots of e devices
Infactuation with chocolate.
Hopeless motivation for learning.
Timeless classics for heritage fashion

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive.
I know how to train my brain to control dreams without the help of binal brainwave sound as assistance.
Pressing the whistle button on the train in Alaska, over and over. (yeah, they don't do dragging the rope anymore!)

Teach, Learn, Share

How to think outside the box when you realize that you are not thinking outside the box?
Trust is a funny thing if you think rationally about it. Then again. Reason alone doesn't make the world good enough.
One feels lonelier on journeys but grow yet stronger. Loneliness makes people feel vulnerable. So is this a paradox?
I'm still waiting for a day when time travel would be possible.
Remembrance count as travel of such sort.
