👋 Hey! I'm John, born in Fujian China
🌊Now adrift in the beautiful chaos of life

🚗 Am hitchhiking the world (with my dog 🐶 shown in
the avatar) - just need your wisdom🧘, advice🧭, and
a little kindness💛

🎩 Studied Applied Physics:
* Bachelor at Xiamen University🇨🇳
* Master at TU Delft 🇳🇱
* Internship in Barcelona (long story — but it shaped
who I am today)

我来自福建莆田，物理出身，曾在荷兰、巴塞罗那和中国多个城市生活过。

🌍现在正搭车环游世界（和封面里面的那只小狗重山），计划一直向西绕地球一圈，期待你的建议和帮助。

😵‍💫 过去两年做过量子工程师、物理老师和调酒师，不幸陷入存在危机（或者万幸？）正在在探索人生新方向

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels don't tell stories, but you do 💬💛 So I hitchhike, couchsurf, and talk to strangers

I chase serendipity ✨, black swans 🦢, connections 🔗, random beautiful moments 🌸. It's not just travel ✈️, it's philosophy 🤯

Interests

What do these words mean to you ?
Freedom 🕊️ | Romance 🌹 | Adventure ⛰️

My obsessions (phenomena/concepts):
- Self-organization 🌀 (anarchist collectives)
- Decentralization 🌐 (anti-pyramid)
- Emergence 🪶 (1+1 equals an apple)
- Art of Living 🎨 (turn chaos into muse)
- Flirtation 💋 (The entanglement between you&me)
- Insecurity 🫣 (That crack where the light and growth gets in)

• school of life
• the art of living
• nonlinear dynamics
• what does it mean to be alive
• freedom/romance/adventure

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a master’s degree at TU Delft in 2022 🎓💀⚡… and I’m still proud of it today.

In the past 2 years, I lived 3 lives:

- Quantum Engineer 🧑‍💻
- Physics Teacher 📚
- Bartender 🍸

Didn’t find ‘the answer’😵‍💫
but found some damn good questions 💡✨

Teach, Learn, Share

Kinda stoic on the outside 🧘
Kinda chaotic poet on the inside 🥀🔥

Three concepts I keep learning, living:
Romance 💫｜Freedom 🕊️｜Adventure 🌊

Still figuring them out - but loving the ride 👨‍🦽So I want to have a conversation ☕️ about them

What I Can Share with Hosts

- 100% listener energy 🧏‍♂️
- Always down to learn how you live 👤
- Might cook, might clean, definitely vibe 🍳🕺

Let's share a story before we part ways 👋
