Hey! Peace and love, everyone.✌☮❤😄🌱🍄

I am Bēng-jû (Tom) from Taiwan, which is NOT a part of China.

I'm happy and smiley. I like to bring happiness and love to people around me.

I am addicted to travel, and I have traveled and worked in Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland. I had traveled in some parts of Europe and attended 10 Psytrance festivals in 2019. And I really love southeast Asia, the paradise on earth.

In January of 2024, I started solo backpacking from Thailand to Laos, Malaysia, Nepal and now in Incredible India!

Life is too short, so I travel as much as possible when I am still able to. Meeting people is the best part of travel. I have made lots of friends and many beautiful lifetime memories in my travel. I am very thankful to everyone who had ever helped me in my life, and I help others as much as I can.

Freedom is everything to me. I believe everyone was born with the rights to do whatever they want if they don't bother others. Moreover, freedom is not only for human but also for the animals.

I support 420, psychedelic, naturism, veganism, animal rights, gender equality, feminism, LGBT+, and same-sex marriage. But I am NOT a gay. DON’T harass me in any way, especially physical harassment.

I try my best to live a zero waste and environmentally friendly life. I bring my bottle, cup, tableware, food box, shopping bag when I go out. I use plant-based cleaning products.

I support environmental protection, and civil disobedience. I care about the colonized, the oppressed, the underprivileged, justice and fairness. I once joined Extinction Rebellion in London and went on the streets.

My philosophy is similar to Buddhism. I believe in karma that people get the result of what they have done in their lives. I like to do good things, help people, and share love and happiness.

Spirituality is more important than materialism to me, and I practice mindfulness. I have taken Ayahuasca and shroom with shaman in ceremonies.

Respect everyone including myself. Everyone is unique, so I never judge anyone. Just be authentic. Be who we are.

I am learning mindfulness, vipassana and listening to my feelings and intuition.

420 friendly😇

My home is in Chiayi, not in Kaoshiung.

台灣人也歡迎來住喔～

My smile. My happiness. My hug. My love.

I respect every host as who they are. I hope the hosts just be themselves and do whatever they do at home. I am happy to stay with any kind of people and learn from them. If the hosts eat non-veg, smoke, or drink alcohol, that’s absolutely fine for me.

I always follow the house rules. Keep the home clean and tidy. I am respectful and don’t make noise. I turn off the light, fan, AC and other home appliances when I don’t need them.
