About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to as many new cities as I could

ABOUT ME

I love to:
*Have engaging conversation with new friends
*Get a glimpse of a new city through the local lens
*Establish my own little routines in each city no matter how short my stay maybe
*Try new food

I almost always plan my trips around food, and would not go to a cafe/bar/restaurant with pictures or English by the door in non-English speaking countries. Being surprise by what's on my plate is better than having the same old thing I can find back home.

One of my favorite things to do is talking to people in bars and restaurants, sharing food and drinks with people who are sitting at the nearby tables. People who are willing to share food are good people.

PHILOSOPHY

Take calculated risks, assume positive intentions from others, and trust others until they give me a reason not to.
