ABOUT ME

我有7个兄弟姐妹，因此对热闹比较习惯。我最喜欢做的事情是去外国旅游、尤其是去没有人去旅游的地方，再说，我很喜欢认识有不同文化的人。

I'm the 5th of 8 children, so I'm used to having a lot of people around. Can't stay in my country for a long time without traveling abroad - I do always have wanderlust.

PHILOSOPHY

"Every new language is like an open window that shows a new view of the world and expands your attitude towards life." (Frank Harris)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

在四川的一个偏僻乡村被当地的人邀请去他的家吃饭，而且后来整下午在他们的家。他妈妈给我们做的菜太好吃！

Being invited by a student living in a remote village in Sichuan to have lunch at his family's home and spending the afternoon with them. Most delicious meal we had on our journey.
