About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to more places to understand more cultures

ABOUT ME

I am the eldest son of my family, having two younger brothers.
I was brought up to be humble, hardworking and not to cut corners in life.

I used to live in my own world until I travelled overseas for study trips, internships and volunteer trips.
I love travelling and it's my dream to travel the world with my close friends and loved ones together.

I used to be a person who is always jealous of the people who had better lives than me. But as I grew, I learnt that to live happier, I should appreciate what I have now and fight for more with my own means without depending much on others.

I was born into a family that none of my family members knew how to read and write effectively. I am grateful to my country who gave me the education to think and process my thoughts effectively to others.

Although grateful, I still wish to see the world more, as we all know we only live life once.

I am also fun loving, always interested to learn new stuff, although I am still pretty fearful of roller coasters and stuff. I wish I can conquer most of my fears and become more and more adventurous!

I am about to embark my journey as a fully working adult and there will be very little time to travel and host. But this passion will always be inside me!

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is like a book, if you don't travel to other countries, you are reading only one page of the book"

Interests

I like to play with devices, I have owned an Android phone, iOS devices, all sorts of portable hand-held game consoles when I was young.

I like to tweak my devices as much as I could, like rooting android devices, jailbreaking and modifying stuff here and there.

I am also keen on Street Photography where I like to walk around in foreign countries taking photos of random stuff with the DSLR.

I play the Classical Guitar occasionally when I feel motivated to do so.
