CURRENT MISSION

Finding a mission (What is this!?!? Why do we even need it?)

ABOUT ME

I love to learn. Learn about the world, science, language, ideas, people and what's inside their mind, learn how to look at things from different perspectives, learn to live, and hopefully one day learn to give my life a meaning.

If you want to get to know Thailand better I can be a window to this utterly bizarre and paradoxical, yet cute and relaxed country (Maybe too relaxed). I have objective views about my home country and will openly discuss whatever you need to know about Thailand. Ohhhh I have lots to tell ;-)

BTW I'm gay. Just putting it out there before awkwardness ensues.

PHILOSOPHY

Free speech. Free speech. And free speech. Humanity will not progress technologically or socially as long as we're not allowed to speak out our thoughts. We should have the right to say what we think, as long as it is done with respect. Free speech is what we need but we must also remember not to abuse it and turn it into hate speech.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise.

Interests

My interests range from dull, uncomfortable topics such as politics, history, philosophy, to talking nonsense such as whether Lady Gaga is a man. But what excites me most is DEFINITELY language. It's been my life-long passion. But I also got into acrylic paintings and drawing recently. Are you linguistic or artsy? Be my friend!
