Previous life --- New life
Working occupied 90% of my life which is the typical life in Hong Kong. I don't think human deserved spending whole life on earning money just for buying a concrete box (flat) in HK (ridiculously expensive, the least affordable in the world) and paying bills. That's why I decided to break the rules and find my real life -- TRAVELING! I love meeting new friends, learning the cultures, eating local food, immersing in the nature

After 7 years++ wandering....
Believe anything is possible; don't stay in the dream but take action to make it happens;
Live the moment; enjoy simple life
what if there is no tomorrow?

My new life started since....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Studied full time in the University and worked full time in the airline at the same time
- gave up career (retired, haha) to travel around the world with very very little budget (since Jul 2014), I am very rich inside though :p
- snorkeling in Green Island, Australia and encountering a shark, swimming with it in 10meters
- sky diving 15,000ft in Cairns, Australia
- lucky enough to avoid lost in robberies happened in Lima-Peru (with a gun like object), Bogota-Colombia; Rio-Brazil didn't lost anything - thanks god! but i don't want more
- make Hong Kong foodies and sell in Lima (Peru); Santiago (Chile), pretty good response ;)
- the first time hitchhiking from Chile to South Argentina, the longest I did more than 1300km in one day, met many beautiful people and friends on the road, filled with memorable experiences
- 3 friends and I climbed over a window and sneaked in an abundant (we believed) indoor stadium when there was no suitable place for camping in Chiloe, Chile
- some more adventure camping stories (eg. Sleeping in a warm and the cleanest bathroom in the world in Patagonia)
- hitchhiked with a dog and surf board in mexico, still worked perfectly! nothing is impossible, attitudes make the different!
- trekking in Torres del Paine for 9 days, enjoyed the awesome glaciers so much
- swimming with humpback whales, whale sharks, Manta Rays and dolphins in Mexico
- hitchhiked from Playa de Carmen (Mexico) all the way to Caye Caulker island (Belize) for 14days trip without spending 1 dollar!! Really an achievement, haha...
- listen and face myself, to be honest to myself
- Sailing crossing Atlantic Ocean

too many to mention .... ;)
