About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reached 1/2 a century old, try to reach another.

ABOUT ME

Unpredictable, Spontaneous. Try anything if given the opportunity. First and foremost, I enjoy travelling by bicycle because it's the cheapest way. Moreover, I can go to out-of-reach places, enjoy the view only a bicycle can bring reach. Love travelling alone but can be daunting if you are cycling alone more than 50 miles a day, trying to reach another destination in time.
When u know me well, you'll see I have a dry and wicked sense of humor. By nature, l am usually reserve at first but I'll open up when I know u better. Some people find me cold and arrogant but I am totally opposite. Travelling has open up my view of the world, different people with different cultures. I enjoyed the interactions with locals and travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not where you travel to but what you experience, good and bad altogether.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitched a ride with 4 ladies going to Chang Mai...and joining them to attend a funeral. Sneaking into someone's toilet to take a shower while sleeping on a beach...and they eventually locked me out..:(
Riding a motor bike without any experience or license.
Living a country life in a farming community. Getting pissed and knock myself out during a full-moon party hence missing out the fun for the whole night. Crashing a wedding party during a walk in Laos and was presented with some rice wine which taste like gasoline.
Just too many to mention...:)
