A loner in real sense. ex doctor. visiting professor. Hobbyist simultaneous conference interpreter. Atypical asian. Likely will be different from most people you have met, in both good and bad ways. Semi-retired to make time for the pale blue dot...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took family on trips and stay in nice hotels, had great comfort but lost touch with locals n spirit of traveling...would like to meet wonderful individuals to share laughs hopefully some insights too. Honesty saves time. Not into relationships serious or casual so let’s never go there! Happy for paid guide n driver but will test your local knowledge first.

Interests

Flying. Gliding. wish to learn classical guitar when i'm done travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Documentaries. Comedy. Cultural insights.
