About Me

I am a Chinese woman in my 50s, currently undertaking my journey around the Pacific Rim. My adventure begins in Shanghai, then proceeds through Hong Kong, Indonesia, Australia, the United States, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, back to Australia, and finally returning to China。(2025)

In 2026, I will first go to Japan for a month, then plan to spend two months in Egypt, continue westward to southern Italy, and then further west to the UK and Ireland. May 2026 be smooth and fulfilling, and may the world be at peace. Amitabha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This March2025, I smashed my half-marathon personal record by clocking in under two hours.

I once cycled from Chengdu to Lhasa, a journey that took 35 days in total, covering over 2,400 kilometers. Along the way, I crossed two mountains over 5,000 meters in altitude and ten mountains above 4,000 meters.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my language and TCM philosophy. I want to learn any languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

With over a decade of studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I've assisted others with wellness regimens. If my host is interested, I would be delighted to share TCM philosophy and demonstrate techniques like gua sha and acupoint pressure therapy for tension relief.
