Overview
About Me
I start out slow and will eventually be very engaging, talkative after ice break.
I was told that I look like chinese/malay/khmer/thai/korean. I am from a Malaysia Chinese family with a little bit of Borneo aboriginal blood.
Love to open my heart to all new things along the way of my exploration.
Love big cities and I enjoy hiking, trekking, walking in the forest, the mountain, sometimes the beach. Still in search of the city that offers me the balance between modernization and beautiful nature but more toward nature.
I mostly travel solo. I don’t smoke. Drink occasionally.
2015- 2020
Started my first CS at S.Korea. Had many first time experience including being hosted by naturalist, solo scooter ride trip for approximately 100km, including 20km of muddy road ride to explore the nature at Luang Prabang. Travelled quite a lot around Southeast Asia. Covered some parts of South America, Aus, NZ while working on a world cruise.
2021
Backpacking in Myanmar and stopped by Bangkok before moving on to Philippines. This was at the early stage of covid and was lucky that I made it back home prior the major lockdown in most cities around the world.
2022
Finally stepped onto the Europe land with first stop at Greece. Initial plan was to do Greece for 40 days, but things changed along the way. After Greece, I went to Italy, Turkey and then Egypt before flying home. From initial plan of 40 days to 72 days covering 4 countries and numerous cities along the way. It was one of the trip of my life.
Mar - Apr 2024
Visited Beijing on 2 weeks free visa. After Beijing, I continued on to Sri Lanka for 1 full month. Trust me, Sri Lanka is worth your time if you like nature.
Aug - Sep 2024
Chengdu and Chongqing, China for 2 weeks on free visa again. Had the most craziest hike (on stairs) in 1 day up to 3099m height Emei mountain. Then, move on to Berlin - unknown - Milano.
