About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the wonders of the world

ABOUT ME

I would like to see the wonders of the world but I do not like to travel with tour groups as I find that it is very troublesome. I rather be a traveller than be a tourist as I love to meet up with the locals when I am in their countries. There are much more to see and learn from the locals than the tourist guides.

I have been to about 100 cities in 28 countries. These include places like:

(1) Indonesia (Bali, Batam and Bintam)
(2) Malaysia (Johor and Kuala Lumpur)
(3) Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin, Phuket and Pattaya)
(4) Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi)
(5) Cambodia (Battambang, Phnon Penh and Siem Reap)
(6) Laos (Pakse, Vientiane, Viang Veng and Luang Prabang)
(7) Taiwan (Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Hualien, Yilan, Taoyuan, Kaohsiung and Kenting)
(8) Hong Kong
(9) Macau
(10) China (Beijing, Fuzhou, Guilin, Guangzhou, Hainan,
Hangzhoug, Kunming, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Tianjin, Xiamen, Yunnan and Zhuhai)
(11) Japan (Tokyo)
(12) Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney and Tasmania)
(13) New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch, Rotorua and Wellington)
(14) USA (Berkeley, Chicago, Florida, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Oakland, Oklahoma, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Monica)
(15) Mexico (Tijuana)
(16) Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Sitges, Toledo and Valenica)
(17) Portugal (Lisbon)
(18) Morocco (Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fez, Marrakesh and Tangier)
(19) France (Guédelon Castle, Paris, Par Asterix and Point Canal)
(20) Belgium (Brussels)
(21) Italy (Milan, Rome and Venice)
(22) Germany (Berlin)
(23) The Netherlands (Amsterdam)
(24) England (Chorleywood, Ipswich and London)
(25) Finland (Helsinki)
(26) Greece (Athens)
(27) Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara, Pamukkale, Canakkale, Denizli
and Troy)
(28) South Korea (Seoul, Busan and Jeju)

As I do not have much money, I am selling unwanted items, such as books, stamps and coins in the ebay to earn extra money for my trips.

I used to collect stamps and coins but later I found that I do not know what to do with these items and started to sell them away in the ebay. I have learned photography before but the cost of having this hobby is too expensive and I have stopped taking pictures few years ago. I am glad that someone has invented the digital camera.

PHILOSOPHY

My fundamental belief is that human brings should help each other. Well, through Couch Surfing is a good example.
