About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At the moment in Songjiang, Shanghai, China, just trying to familiarize myself with the country and the area I'm in.

ABOUT ME

I was a teacher in South Korea, Hungary, and Japan, and I'm Songjiang, Shanghai, China.

PHILOSOPHY

It's very difficult to say what I believe in, because it changes day to day. Sometimes a new day can provide a different perspective to an old problem. I don't believe in reincarnation, as far my soul is concerned. So I want to live myself according what I can I think is right. I'm not stubborn or arrogant, and I'm open to constructive criticism, because one can always change to improve oneself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, who would like to go sightseeing, because I don't have in me to go on my own. I'm co-dependent, and I'm not afraid to say it.
