ABOUT ME

Just a guy who loves to travel and see the world...

Hello everybody,

My name is Chris, and I am living in Berkeley, California. I moved from Taiwan to the US about 10 years ago, but I have been wanting to see the world outside of California.

I am hoping that I could add more countries among my list of places to go and meet awesome people from these countries!

PHILOSOPHY

It is alright to make mistakes; the important thing is to learn from the them.
