About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Snooping around... surfing the world!

*Please read my profile before sending a message. I do not accept generic message with copy and paste.*
I myself read people's profile first as well as I love to get connected with people that I can feel could get along and have things in common.

I am quite independent, friendly, and sometimes quiet, sometimes a bit crazy, enjoy laughing and smiling, and love adventure (but just fear of height). I travel solo most of the time, but there are a few times that some of my friends wanted to come along, so if only they have similar characters, they are always welcome to join my trip.

I am a food lover, as I love eating, street food, snacks, traditional local food, each country's speciality - and I can eat almost all the time during the day. I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate with nuts, my favourite is M&M Peanuts.

I love animals too, and panda is the cutest one in the world, in my opinion. Dogs, cats, bears, penguins, dolphin, sea lions, wombats,... all are cute!

My lifestyle is quite simple. I am outgoing but in the way that I like, just travelling, walking around, seeing something new, trying local food, and meeting local people. I am not a party animal, and don't prefer loud music. But I like a nice, quiet place to chill out with some good friends and have fun conversation with.

And as I mentioned, I enjoy travelling by myself, and never think that I am alone, as I always have my best friend with me, and his name Nikon ;) I am a camera geek. I like to take photos at about everything I think looks cool. You can check out my photography profile http://www.pixomentum.com, http://www.facebook.com/pixomentum.

I am very fond of small towns, enjoying more local places than touristic.

I also work in a travel industry, not really a guide, but more about developing routes, experiences and so on, so I got a chance to travel a lot to see things in and around Thailand. Out of 77 provinces in Thailand, there are almost 20 left that I haven’t been. So, feel free to ask me anything about Thailand then :)

Finally, I usually respond almost immediately if I feel like you really read through my profile well.

PHILOSOPHY

Think before saying (hard to follow :( so sometimes I dont really mean it when I say it)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best travel experiences was my solo backpacking trip from Bangkok to Hoi An, crossing through Laos, to Vietnam via Hue, and finally Hoi An. It was a very very exhausting trip, but so much fun and a good experience. On the night bus from Bangkok, and one day from Laos to Hue... almost threw up when arriving in Hue. But once in Hoi An, the city charmed me in very quickly :) You gotta try the same way as I did :)
