About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel across China

ABOUT ME

My best friends would probably say I'm a Gryffindor with traits of a Hufflepuff. :D I tend to like to be chivalrous, value bravery and nerve but I'm also very patient and loyal. And I'm a big time dreamer; day dreaming, night dreaming, afternoon dreaming, early morning dreaming, breakfast dreaming, lunch dreaming. I have a little wooden hut in Utopia, it has a bamboo fence, a seesaw in the garden, some orange and pink frogs in my pond... I'm half lovable and half crazy and half alien.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will keep you posted on this one!

Interests

I'm interested in living! (First and foremost!) I love a good jamming session. I like interesting, open conversations. I like challenges and to figure out things. I like to tempt the impossible, too often in my mind recently. I like reading, and here it varies strictly between the extremely useful and the extremely useless. I like chess. I like spinning sparkle pois (please check my pics if you can). I like writing, when my old friend is hanging out with me (that's another story :D). I like trading (I used to be a financial trader and will get back to it at some point); so I like keeping in touch with how things are evolving in the financial world, and that takes a whole lot of time. I however wish to be more physically present in the world, and hence the decision to start travelling. Now I'm spending my time on google map. :)

Other than that, I will leave the rest of this section blank for the time being.
