About Me

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Keelung, Taiwan, and I live is Sydney now.

I am a very outgoing, easygoing, and enthusiastic girl. I like adventure, like to try everything, love traveling and making friends. I was working for Club Med in Maldives and Indonesia then doing working holiday in Australia. I do wish to have more special experience during travelling. the more I travel, the more i wonder how I can stop....
well...here comes my little story if you r interested..

In September of 1995, I was 13 years old and qualified for the membership of“The Chinese Youth Folk Sports Presentation from Taiwan, R.O.C.to perform diabolo (Chinese yoyo) in some big cities in America and Canada for a month.
In 2002, after graduation i went traveling in Bangkok and Papaya, Thailand with my university classmates.
In 2003, I joined Work and Travel in USA program, worked in Wendy's for a summer and meanwhile visited Niagara falls, and then New York city and Boston by coach and public transportation.
In 2004, I went to Tokyo for holidays. Its my first amazing experience of hot spring in snowfield.
In September of 2005, I joined AIESEC traineeship exchange program, worked in Bursa, Turkey for 9 months, visited many cities and historical villages. I love the culture and people are so generous and friendly. The scene in Pamukkale and Cappidocia is just breathtaking. I also learned skiing and ice skating there. During 2005 I also went to Beijing and Shanghai for a business trip.
In January of 2006, I took 11 holidays and went backpacking in Egypt. After finishing my traineeship, I took cruises to some Greek islands, Sandorini is the most impressive one. I then flew to London from Athens, and visited friends in Sheffield and Manchester and traveled by myself around London, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge and Edinburgh Military Tattoo. I also joined Haggis Skye High tour to explore Scotlands beauty. Before going back to Taiwan, I spent another one month traveling in Singapore and Malaysia, I got my scuba diving certification in Kinabalu, climbed Mt Kinaballu, the second highest mountain in South Asia, and I also enjoyed padas river rafting.
In 2007, I worked in Club Med Kani Maldives as a excursion assistant. I'd like to call it living in paradise. My main job was taking the tours to other beautiful isolated islands for snorkeling by sea plane and having lobster for lunch with guests. I couldn't complain about the experience and I just love diving there so much. After finishing my season contract, I traveled in India with my brother for a month.
In 2008, I worked in Club Med Bintan Island Indonesia as a bartender, and then traveled in Sumatra for my holiday.
In 2009, I worked in Club Med Lindeman Island Australia as an excursion assistant. Then I visited Sydney and Melbourne, and the biggest rock in the world in Uluru, and did WWOOF in beautiful Tasmania and learned horse-riding. I was so excited to do the Sydney Harbour Bridge climbing and skydiving. I am still working at a cafe in Central Coast in Australia. I visited New Zealand in November after I finished working holiday and Hong Kong, Macau on the way back home. Yeap! I did bungy jumping in NZ. I watch cirque du soleli ZAiA in Macau but I was so hangover.
2009.12~2010.01 I travelled South Africa, Mozambique (also short visited Swaziland and Lesotho). Accident is SA, a black guy sneaky took my credit card for a min, but lucky nothing happened afterwards. Basically SA is a beautiful country, theres the highest bungy!!(OMG!216m!) diving in Mozambique also nice.
2010.01.23~31 South Korea trip. Thats my first time travel with my parents
2010.02.15~23 Holiday in Bali
