CURRENT MISSION

If there's water; swim it. If there's snow; ski it. If there's fire; brave it. If there's air; breathe it. And if there's earth, walk it until no place looks unfamiliar.

ABOUT ME

I'm not a complex person looking to change the world or inspire great things. The earth is a pretty wild place with unexplored corners and undiscovered people. I want to play sports in Peru, have a drink with someone in Mongolia, fish with a Loatian, snowshoe with a Swede, or whatever. Basically, I want to take the things from my homeland and NOT force them upon others but try to experience what I know with what others know.
I'm a graduate from UW with a BA in International Studies. I currently work as a TRIP LEADER with a company called Backroads taking people on bike trip all over the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Either find a way or make one.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Once, there was an ice storm in my town and every single thing had a thick layer of ice covering it. I was able to ice skate down the streets and over driveways. It was very intriguing to see the whole world as if it were made of glass.

教，学，和分享

Water, I have a deep connection. Ever since I was young, I found I belonged in/on/near the water more than any other place. I'm a top-notch swimmer, water-skier, boat driver, scuba diver, cliff jumper, fishing, whatever. If it involves water-I'll be there. If it's frozen water (SNOW/ICE) I got a few skills with that, too.
