One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

March the 23th in 2013, I walked seven hours from Nanjing to Zhenjiang.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy
to teach Chinese
to share travel experience and stories
to talk absolutely of everything and anything but especially topics that related to human beings, their relationships, gender
to share stories of my 8 years in Melbourne

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life experience in travelling in China/ teaching children/volunteer in China independent film festival/ social worker/ Melbourne/ queer identity and community building etc.

2012 archive: My feeling about this poetic world which could be dark sometimes also. My reflection about human beings. I don't know maybe everything but also nothing at the same time.

2023 update: I am able to share what is appropriate and comfortable to share for the parties in the conversation. Thoughts, reflections, wise or silly ideas and my authentic self.
