I like to trust people. I like silliness and tolerance in myself and others. I like kindness and I like to get the feeling of seeing only part of a much bigger, mysterious, but somehow consistent and beautiful picture. I love being around people and touching their lives in more or less significant ways. I try to experience all those things by travelling and hosting.
I used to do a lot of hitchhiking and some vagabonding, and enjoyed the freedom of it.

PHILOSOPHY

We shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.

And, with regards to Korakor: Spread your love, always, everywhere.

If we want to solve the world's most serious problems we need a lot of love and work.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing might have changed, but we can still use it to connect, bring the world together and help each other really get to know life in different places.

兴趣

I'm a book addict and read a lot! It's always thrilling to read something you couldn't have thought of yourself and to be challenged by new ideas. I like films for the same reason. Silly or deep, both have their own charm.
I enjoy silly and serious dancing, to almost whatever music there is.
I occasionally play the guitar and like to draw. I am also an enthusiastic amateur at card and coin magic and always grateful to learn and try new tricks. One other thing that fascinates me is hypnosis.
I admire the martial arts and used to do some Wing Chun. Lately I love Parcours, although I am not very good.
I'm not an accomplished cook, but usually I manage to get by quite well with whatever is available, and there isn't much that I won't try at least once. Eating is probably my most prominent vice.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Seing Mount Fuji from some small nameless mountain summit surrounded by the wilderness of Tanzawa Mountains, panting and sweating but feeling that I can get everywhere in this world walking.

Breaking the surface of a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia and shoveling mud into a truck for hours to get the horses minerals in winter.

Being a street performer and sleeping on streets across Europe.
