CURRENT MISSION

I believe that too much in our world is reflexive or unconscious. I want to act with intent to mold my world through appreciation and support.

ABOUT ME

Just another fella that's trying to experience what life has to offer. I'd say that I began as an obliviously naive optimist who graduated into a hopeless romantic. Life is slowly rounding me out to be an optimistic realist? But who know's where this winding road will take me?
I enjoy well-loved books, amateur photography, shameless singing, rambling writings, stimulating discussions, and food.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is a learning experience. Stay humble, stay open-minded and the world opens up to you.
We're all going, so let's go for a walk; I hear that it's a lonely road paved with the best of intentions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently taking a year to voyage around Taiwan, I just want to get to know my beloved mother(is)land better.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Literally none, but there's no better time than now to start couchsurfing!
I mean I used to have sleepovers, I guess those can count. My favorite sleepovers were the ones where we stayed up late swapping stories and dreams.
