ABOUT ME

My name is Cindy Xu, 25 years old girl from China. I got my Bachelor's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language in China and Master's degree in International Studies in the United States. I started my travelling when I was 17 years old. Now I have been to 24 countries and regions. I can speak Mandarin, English, and a little bit Japanese.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home: You are like a pebble throw into the water, you become wet on the surface, but you are never part of the water." ——James Michener
