CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

calm, sociable, versatile, idealistic, sincere

PHILOSOPHY

My primary objective in life is to contribute to a more humane world. In order to live up to this ideal, I regularly donate money to effective (meta-)charities, serve on the board of two NGOs and I don't eat any animal products.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I really like the social and non-commercial aspect of it.

- effective altruism: I try to spend my spare resources based on evidence and careful reasoning to make sure they maximize the positive impact on the world (i.e. reduce unnecessary suffering most effectively)
