CURRENT MISSION

www.Panda4L.com

Currently traveling the world! So far, I have been on the road for a year and have traveled through 30 countries.

In 2016 I completed an epic 3 month road trip across the United States, visiting as many states, major cities, national parks/monuments, and random towns as I could. Traveled through 45 contiguous states and racked up over 15,000 miles on my Honda Fit. It was such a tremendous experience visiting places I've never been to and meeting new people from all aspects of life.

GOALS:
+ To live, learn, laugh, love, and grow with this precious life bestowed upon me on this wondrous Earth.
+ Meet fun, outgoing, and inspirational individuals from all over the world.
+ Learn from every experience I encounter and people I meet to grow as an indicidual.
+ Share travel stories and connect with people in a meaningful way to make lasting friendships.
+ Enjoy life and HAVE FUN!

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going guy who loves to have fun. I was born in China, moved to Japan when I was 5 years old and lived there for 6 years before moving to England for 7 months. I arrived in the United States when I was 11 years old and resided in Santa Barbara. After attending high school there and graduating from UCLA, I started working for a pharmaceutical/biotech company as a process engineer while establishing a home base in Los Angeles. Lived in LA for 9+ years and know the ins-and-outs of LA.

I cherish companionship and love hanging out with friends whenever possible; but I'm also a very independent (and somewhat rebellious) person ever since I was a child. I'm outgoing on social occasions, reserved and competent on professional settings. Caring to friends and family, respectful to strangers. Very cultured and open minded. Love to hear fun/interesting stories and learn from other people's life experiences. Planning to travel all over the world in 2017.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Love to have fun. Work-hard-play-hard. Caring and kind to people you know, respectful to strangers. Exercise often and eat healthy. Enjoy and cherish life because life's short and you may never know what will happen tomorrow!
