ABOUT ME
Traveling around the world has always been my dream since I was little, it doesn't really matter for me that how many countries that I have come across or have I been to Eiffel tower or great wall of China, it matters for me that if I have lived and felt for the day, if I have felt the taste of the food, if I have felt the air through my breathings, if I have felt the humanity of the people I met, if I have felt the different atmosphere between each place, traveling without money makes me learned a lot about humanity and appreciation, I used to take granted for food and a bed to sleep and I used to think the world is a dangerous place to live and there are many bad people and criminals before I left Taiwan(my home country), but this world tour really has broaden my mind a lot and changed my stereotype views toward the world and humanity, I have learned so much stuffs for the past six years of traveling, about culture, food, architecture, languages, landscapes, weather, history, design....etc. but most of all, I have learned tremendously from the people I have met, every single person that I have come across there is a lesson to be learned, and it really helps me to appreciate the world, the life. this world tour really depends greatly on the generosity, hospitality and braveness of the people, there are way too much people that I need to thank for helping me to continue my journey, so I decide to thank God, I am not a religious person but I will continue to be a missionary of spreading the gospel of humanity, telling people that PEOPLE ARE GOOD.

PHILOSOPHY

1.if u never never go and try, u would never never know
2.Nothing is impossible, you just have to do it
3.Carpe diem
4.Be who you are and say or do what you feel, coz those who mind dont matter, those who matter dont mind.
5. One who makes no mistakes, makes nothing at all
6. if i'd followed all the fucking rules, i'd never have gotten anywhere

Teach, Learn, Share

I think travelling is one of the best ways to learn about this beautiful, awesome world, and hitchhiking is one of the best ways to fulfill travelling, the reasons are: what is easier to make friend than by helping each other? you just have to have faith in people in humanity, you can count on people, you don't have to be a millionaire to travel around the world, coz it is a ride that you don't pay with money, also by bonus you will get so much handy information from the people who pick you up(most of them are locals), and the interaction with the drivers really intrigues and fascinates me, with every person you meet, there is a lesson to be learned, I have never bother to carry a bulky lonely planet guidebook with me, coz the locals are my lonely planet, and they are better and more correct and detailed than lonely planet, another thing is hitchhiking makes travelling much much more interesting and exciting, coz you never know what will happen to you next, you will get lifts from people who are in the highest tier(eg.doctor, lawyer, CEO, politician, principal) to the lowest tier(drug addicts, alcoholic, parolee) or any kinds of people from homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual to weird, crazy, kind, shy, generous people and they are all willing to help you by giving you a lift and share their stories with you, hitchhiking makes and takes you closer to the local population, it also offers you a great freedom of movement, just you and your backpack, you can go wherever you wanna go coz your house is on your back, like a tortoise with its carapace, hitchhiking is an awesome adventure that teaches you how to be independent and smart and how to make decisions, from walking to an adequate place to hitchhike, sticking the thumb, writing your destination on the cardboard, the indicator of the car is shining, car is stopping and lowering its window, talking with the driver and check this person if it is safe to get into the car in just a few second, grabbing the pack and jump into the car, and let a new interesting story unfolding in front of you, an indescribably exciting feeling which to think going further in life by going further on the road, this is ....HITCHHIKING, this is why i am hitchhiking around the world.
