About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Stay healthy to travel.

ABOUT ME
I am a retired Math teacher. I love outdoor. I am a runner, hiker, mountain biker, triathlete, ...I am interested in all kind of outdoor activities.
I love traveling...I travelled mostly before the COVID shutdown. Then I ran the Boston Marathon in April 2023 as my first trip out of my country since COVID. 2024 I ran the Sydney marathon and traveled to North East China. Will be traveling to China again in March and maybe June.
Most of the time I can't host for various reasons, but I can show you around Miri (just a small, non-touristic town) if I am free.
