No talent so trying to be kind.
No humor so trying to smile!!
No hook-up through CS!!

Arts and music lover. Stories collector. Human observer. Couldn't live without camera and traveling. My trip style is go with flow. It took me to many unexpected places. It brought me meet many incredible people.

I appreciate things that you can't buy with money, Ideas that didn't get brain-washed by the mainstream, life style that being conscious about the environment and humankind. I'm definitely not the loudest one in a group, but very chatty one by one when there are right people.

Used to work in film marketing industry in Taiwan. Love stories!!! After falling in love with so many ROAD TRIP movies.
I finally made it to have my own ones!
