ABOUT ME

I am always interested in learning how things work - how the universe has evolved and how is it going to end, why people think the way they think, how people develop their emotion towards others, why our society works the way it work now. I am curious about pretty much about everything and love sharing thoughts with others. For the same reason, I always enjoy meeting new people, especially from different cultural background from my own.

I'm currently finishing up my masters degree on natural resources and environment at University of Michigan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't couchsurfed so far, but have met a lot of people who have couchsurfed during my backpacking and also have friends who are couchsurf enthusiasts. I'd like to be part of the wonderful experience!

Interests

I am particular interested in science, technology, energy sector, environment, international politics and moderns history. For many subjects, I find they can't be explained fully without taking interdisciplinary approach and thus enjoy talking with people from different background.

I love self-guided backpacking. Whenever possible I spend a day in museums and art galleries and explore around the city. My favorite outdoor activities include rock climbing and cycling.

Also, I'm a passionate photographer. I usually enjoy street photography taking daily events and activities around the cities.
