I think we all need to spend more time doing things we love, going to places that make us feel small, out of our comfort zone, remembering to laugh at ourselves, and getting a little cold, tired, and scared every once in a while.

Throughout the journeys, I find my familiar thrill of adventure being haunted by one unsettling question: How does the journey take us more deeply into reality, making us a better, more educated person, and sometimes waking us about the meaning of life? And I want to write about things that matter in life.

I am just an ordinary person, who enjoys sleeping like a baby but luckily has a little bit of adventurous nerve to wake me up. I hate school but I love learning on my own. I think traveling is the most interesting thing happened in my life so far. And I am doing it mostly because I am curious about the world outside there. I often travel alone and make friends on the road. I am all into adventure travel, which is something more than just participating in extreme activities.

It was in 2013 that I realized I don’t want to spend my life chasing hedonism. So, I try to push myself to live like a nomad, experiencing new things, befriending those I meet on the road, and opening my eyes wide open for learning.
