I was born in GuangZhou China. I curious about life in other countries, and want to see different countries landscapes, such as their mountains, lakes, glaciers, and waterfalls, etc. Talking with people from different countries and listening to their stories, seeing different cultures and eating different kinds of food, I desired to learn new and different things, and become a better person.

Half year ago, I quit my job. I went to South America two and a half months in May 2019, my journey took me through 6 countries: Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia. During this period, I did some crazy things which I would not have imagined doing before. In Chile, I encountered a new language that I couldn’t speak, but I hitchhiked with friend, I experienced cultural exchanges. In a hostel in Argentina, I talked to a group of Latin Americans and made BBQ and pizza. I met natives on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, dancing with Brazilians, and then the nerve racking experiences like walking alone in the dangerous city center of Sao Paulo. I took a four-day bus in Bolivia to see Uyuni Salt Flat. It took me two days to hike Machu Picchu and walk alone in the empty mountains at night.

After that, I have been studying English in the United States for a few months, this country gives me the feeling that many people are compatible. Various cultures seem to be combined but independent. People from different backgrounds are struggling with their American dreams here, and natives are also suffering a high cost of life with heavy pressure. They still enjoy pursuing a good quality of life. This is a relatively balanced country. One of the most important things I learned here is the courage to express your ideas honestly and loudly. People said they like a place because they like the people here. They are independent, free, friendly, and warm-heart. I really like here, and I have met a lot of nice friends here. I am planning to travel USA. I hope we have the opportunity to meet each other, talking our stories!
