About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Open my mind to this world and its people

ABOUT ME

I an easy going person, who loves to "chillax" with my mates and talk about anything. I was born in Hong Kong but moved to New Zealand when I was 5. So most of my mates are Kiwi. (People sometime called me a 'Banana', cause im yellow on the outside but white on the inside... haha). And i'm hardcore in to my fire spinning, circus skills and festivals!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself and everybody that you care about.

"A traveler don't know way he is going, but a tourist don't know way he has been"

"Adove all,keep in mind the Traveller's first commandment: 'Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou host at home, for thou has left home to find things different.' the most essential thing you can pack is an open mind." (Bill Peach)
