---CURRENT MISSION---

I want to go to New York, desperately.

---PHILOSOPHY---

Life is beautiful. BE BRAVE and BE GENTLE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel, not passing by places where you take pictures standing still, but enjoying places just like locals do. I used to spend weeks in just one corner of a city, no hurry :)

Interests

I write a lot. (http://gentleman-to-be.lofter.com/)

Special interests:
[everyday supermarket break] I love seeing tons of things placed nicely on shelves so I go to supermarket everyday. The best thing is that you will still find something new, be it a brand or a flavour.

[collecting words] Words basically mean everything to me, the reason why humans are cute. I collect each and every word I write or somebody else write to me.

[making charts] Anything can be a subject and data could be made into charts, just for fun, like playing a puzzle. That day I went to GOMA, there was an exhibition about a guy with all his charts, amazing! He made a lifetime graph with x-axis being a time span by years and y-axis being a score from 0-100 rated for happiness. I could see that for most of his life, he is a happy person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Seoul alone for 2 weeks and met amazing friends randomly on streets and on Couchsurfing. It really changed my attitude towards traveling and the idea of home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have mixed backgrounds, that could be something interesting to share.

My goals when traveling:
- Walk as much as I can.
- No popular restaurant.
- No planning ahead.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Be myself as a friend to you.
