CURRENT MISSION

To understand education through a pair of global eyes.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently conquering my fears: riding a motorbike in Indonesia was the first, giving up the privileged things in life another, entering the deep blue and opening my eyes a third...a person on such a journey doesn't yet know *all about* herself - I hope I never will.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to live safe. Now, I'm studying the art of living. Of course, there is this to keep in mind: Study and practice are both very important, but they must go hand in hand. Practice without knowledge is not sufficient. Practice needs to be supported by reason. However intellectual understanding that is not applied in practice is also of little use. Whatever we learn from study we need to apply sincerely in our daily lives.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you're in BK feel free to contact me for a couch (actually, comfy futon) or a coffee, drink or dinner. If you can provide the same, or some part of introducing me to your culture, music scene, or education system, I'd be much obliged.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes good, sometimes not so lovely, but always a learning experience.

音乐、电影和书籍

Kusturica messed me up in my 10s. Kubrick and Aronofsky messed me up in my 20s. I will make my own and mess you up in my 30s.
New Orleans jazz, and all other places where people aren't afraid to dance.
Gladwell, Sedaris, Friedman, Dalai Lama...these are my current Shakespeares.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Is this where we are to brag?

教，学，和分享

I will learn 100 Chinese characters on this trip. If you can help me find a starting point, well, you're awesome because that would be helpful and you've actually bothered to read through my entire profile. I can share all things photography & film (I'm still learning & always will be). I can certainly teach you some Bosnian...you never know when you'll need a word in the land of blood and honey.
