Just about three years ago I set off on the road, it was my first time abroad&backpacking alone, so lucky I am that many kind locals&travelers encouraged me a lot so I got the nerve to keep on rolling and realized the world is wide enough for everyone to enjoy it:)

During my 1 year’s traveling in Islamic countries and 1 year’s exploration in Tibet and Nepal, I’ve become so interested in religions. Now I am studying Philosophy in Leuven, Belgium, to better understand religions and the post-secular.
