About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel and dance, see the world

ABOUT ME

I love dancing and nature, and I like kids.

Childhood in countryside gave me precious memory and made me firmly believe mankind is only a part of the world . we have the responsibility to protect our environment and help those with less advantages.

Traveling is a way to know who you are and broaden your horizon, and also a way to avoid prejudice.

I love dancing, especially folk dance. I'm happy to share my dance with people around the world and also learn their local dance.

I love kids. It is great pleausure to see those kids with sunny happy smile.

I used to work with people with different culture background .It's always a pleasure to meet people from all over the world and exchange traveling stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is a life style.

Listen to your heart and go where your heart tells you.

Life is a string of events and we are challenged to make choices.

Even a 1,000 mile journey starts with one step.(Laotzi, philosopher of ancient China).

We can save lots of resources, energy and time if we choose to live in a simple,honest and respective way, as a result the world will be more bueatiful,peaceful and harmonuous.
