I'm not gay and I'm not a nudist. I am tolerant of gay people, but please respect that I am heterosexual and do not try asking me if "I am also a nudist", please. Peace 🕊 and Love ❤️; Honesty and Integrity 🦁; Balance between Materialism and Spirituality ☯️; Personality: - Positive, friendly, calm/zen/meditative, curious/intellectual, appreciate simple pleasures; - Community/socially conscious, charitable; - Romantic/Family-oriented; - Lover of Nature, physically active; - Professional/Ambitious. Above all I believe that happiness comes a combination of various different sources besides just money - which is of course important - and that it's important to not overcomplicate one's mind in order to feel happier. ------- Quotes: "Whoever doesn't learn from the past is doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana "Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and destroy you at their game." - Mark Twain "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi "From my mother, [I learned] piety, beneficence and abstinence, not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich." - Marcus Aurelius "You've got to get tough without ever losing your tenderness." - Che Guevara ------- PHILOSOPHY Some very simple things: I) The "Golden Rule" - Treat others how I would like to be treated; II) Don't Overcomplicate things; III) Open-Mindedness - with the exception of the Essential Moral Code which is the Base for everything I do (care for all other beings, don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, etc); IV) "Turn the Other Cheek" (to a certain degree) - Understanding karma and that people can only give what they have inside of them, so returning wrong for wrong can never make a right. V) Live in Harmony With Nature; VI) Commitment to Truth, Righteousness and Dignity; VII) Being ambitious, but not without caring about the means to achieve the ends.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
Think this is a great concept for genuine travel experiences, with the great benefit of travellers also being able to save some money. Am a believer in "help others to be helped in return" mentality.
