My name is Chih-Chen ( Vincent). Nice to meet you and it's very nice of you to read my profile.
Here is a bit about myself. I am a down-to-earth person and always open my heart to explore the world.

During my college, I was traveling to Tibet by bike, it was nearly 2000km and took about a month to finish the trip, definitely one of the most unforgettable memories in my life. I also made a video about this trip, here is the link on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_ThPNJqLjM

After graduating from my college, I was traveling and worked in Australia for two years, saving some money to support my trip around the world. In 2018, I was traveling for the whole year, learning yoga and meditation in India, taking the trans-Siberia train across Russia, first time scuba-diving in Turkey, paragliding in Nepal, and Mongolia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka........

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far is the biking trip in Tibet. During the summer holiday in 2014. I rode my bike from Kunming (the capital of Yunnan province) to Lhasa(the capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region). It takes about 1 month and the distance is about 1950 km.
Even though this trip is so hard and pretty tough, I think it is worth it. Because I have seen the shiniest star in the dark night, I have seen the most beautiful landscape on this lonely planet, and I have seen one of the most amazing cultures on Earth.
Along the way to Lhasa, I have taken so many pictures and videos, and I choose some unique pictures to make postcards, I can give you some postcards as presents if you like. And I have made a short film about this journey, below is the link to watch it.
