About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Preparing myself for another Master course. Then hopefully proceed to Phd.

ABOUT ME

A traveller, hitchhiker, helpX and also a backpacker.

Went to school in England, so pretty much got brainwashed by the Brit. haha. I did lots of travelling in US and Europe before I started working in mid of 2015 and I definitely have addicted to travelling !! I suppose it is a healthy addiction. Love travelling and meeting people along the way. For me it is a good way to learn and experience life.

I love photography. Especially taking picture in black and white. Black and white photo capture the soul and it captures something beyond what we can see in colour.

Besides i love cooking. Enjoy beer and wine. It's so good to be able to grab a pint or two and sharing stories with other people. :)
