About Me

TRAVELING

"See what no one else sees. See what everyone else choose not to see out of fear, conformity, or laziness.
See the whole world a new each day."

- Quote from movie, 'Patch Adams'

I believe that travelling is more about the people you meet than the places you go. I would love to meet you, love to share the moments of life, and be amazed that how our existence let us meet.

WHY I AM ON COUCHSURFING

For I believe money is important factor of our life, but not everything. It is my faith that people live by warmness, connectness and relationships.

This connects to my belief that health is not only physical factor only relied on a doctor. As medical student mysef, I believe health is physical, mental, and social (and soul) wellness.
And I believe people in this world we have the power of love and heal for us and each other.

Looking for kind souls to meet. :)

People is all we got. and Love always wins.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, Himalaya, Nepal- all the way 4300m high in snowing January.

2. Walking Camino de Santiago, a french way. It is a long way of walking in Europe, from France to Spain- a 800km walk. It took me 5 weeks, and was amazing experience with nature and beautiful souls I met on the road. :)

3. Visiting mu koh surin islands in Thailand. It is a national marin park island with alive coral forest, they only open for November to April. The island have no electricity and no energy for nature preservation.
Snorkling experience was so amazing, watching turtles and baby sharks. Also living in natural way was incredible.
