About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know many people around the world and broaden my perspective

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.

PHILOSOPHY
You Only Live Once
I want to do what I want to being honest to myself. Life is limited
