About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go everywhere! Meet everyone!

ABOUT ME

I'm a young girl with a dream to travel around this beautiful blue planet, to see and experience everywhere and anyone. I want to live my dream rather than dreaming about my life. It is nice to connect with the earth and universe. I wanna be wind to keep moving on places, I wanna be water to get in others' live and story, I wanna be fire to light up the land like the star sky.

PHILOSOPHY

“Do what you want, Be who you are” and "Present is a present", just enjoy the moment right here and right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I feel free to do something what my heart tell me to do, which is an amazing and unforgettable matters in my life.

When I was young, I finished hiking and took rest under a river with my friend, then we started to climb upward the river. We just left all our stuffs and took off our shoes. Finally we are surprised to see a beautiful waterfall in the upper river. Its very funny to go up by our hands and legs through the fresh water. The adventure will starts to run in my little heart.

In 2015, I went to Western Europe and tried busking and couchsurfing, this was a breakthrough to me to preform in the street and live in somebody houses I have never meet before. Happy that this kind of travel brought me special and sweet memories.

In 2016, I went to Australia with Working Holiday Visa. Experienced to live, work and cook in a foreign country. Finally, I got lots of friends, new work and cooking skill. The most important, I became an independent and brave girl, I learned to communicate with myself and enjoy oneself.
