I'm a low-key low-maintenance guy. Bit of a minimalist and dreamer. Love exploring cities and landscapes around the world - there is so much beauty to be found.

Into long-distance overnight hikes, mountains, camping, and environmentalism. Tend to get into deep conversations about science, religion, politics, culture, philosophy, etc. Or we could talk about the weather.

🏳️‍🌈Gay (if that matters)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to meet other people who are open to new experiences and possibilities. And let's be honest, inflation sucks too!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share my knowledge about photography (I'm a semi-pro art photographer), the mining industry (I'm a former engineer), socially-responsible investing (it's a hobby), the mail system (you know you want to learn about it!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself well-read and a contrarian, so hopefully I can offer interesting conversations.

Grew up in a traditional immigrant Chinese household so I'm super respectful haha.
