Hi;) I’m chongyang from China. Studied astronomy in Wuhan University and then Tokyo University. Worked in Shanghai for one year. Retired and started traveling (2024.5)

2024.11: After 6 months traveling alone in Europe, hitchhiking, playing ukulele and sleeping on benches in parks, volunteering, Couchsurfing, making new best friends, getting robbed, discriminated, assaulted … I’m glad that I will stay in Baku for a few months, finally having my own place and don’t have to unpack, pack and keep moving everyday.

I know how disappointing it is when hosts never reply, reject without saying a word, set the barriers too high. I’ve also met surfers and people from hangout with sexual, financial purposes. That hurts me because I always have a dream that one day everyone will be able to maximize the resilience of kindness within the limits of physical conditions. I demand myself to be a qualified particle of that dream. You'll think I'm a hypocrite because you're gonna see me fail often. But if at any moment you see that dream in me and think it is beautiful, please help me to pass this dream on to more people.

P.s. I have been to 30/34 provinces of China, more than half counties of Japan, and hitchhiked a lot (throughout China, Japan, Poland, Czech, UK). About these countries I guess I have a few stories to share
