About Me

I believe that you can do anything as long as you can dream it. You can pick up anything and be good at it as long as you're passionate about it.

When I was 12, I watched a television programme "81 days around the world" and I thought that that was my dream. I could never imagine myself living it out and pursuing this dream now. When i grew up, I realized that it is definitely impossible to do it in 80 days. My aim is to travel to 30 countries before i turn 30 this year and I'm happy that I did it! I still have a long bucket list and the top 3 are backpacking in Xinjiang across silk road to Uzbekistan, traveling in Russia for 2 months, hopefully i can take the transiberian train from Mongolia up to Russia, explore South America such as Mexico, Argentina and Peru!

Traveling is like a journey where I seek for inspiration in life.. Meeting people from different background and culture changes my perspective and expands my horizon like no other..

As an idealist, my dream was to be a war photographer. But i realize that it will never come true as far as safety is concerned so i settled to be an ordinary photographer. I love my job, love to travel, don't mind traveling alone because it allows me to meet numerous people who are so different from me and plenty of opportunities to be inspired by them! I work as a photographer 8-9 months per year and I'm a traveller 3-4 months in a year! Love my life! Learning Spanish so as to embark on South America next month!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- rode a horse in Kashmir and the horsemen kept beating it with a cane, it went wild, threw me off its back
- rode on a camel in a dessert and the camel boy threw a stone on it so it started running, i was tossed from its back. I'm an animal lover but I dont know why these unfortunate things with animals..
- Jumped off a cliff with a chute on me. haha.. Paragliding in Nepal
- Went to do the Tsunami Relief work in Japan when no one wants to go there because of the radiation
- Stayed in strangers' house in Norway
- Hitch rides in Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Poland and Slovakia
- bathed in a river in some remote part of the world for 2 weeks
