ABOUT ME
I'm going to be a graduate school student in April 2015. My major is agriculture especially agroforestry in Southeast Asia. I'm full of curiosity and like traveling but sometimes prefer staying at quiet places and reading, thinking...Actually I'm a bit shy. I prefer countryside to big cities.
I like nature and animals.
