About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling in Colombia now!

Started my abroad journey in March 2015. Finished my working holiday visa in Australia for one year and met lots of awesome Australians and backpackers from other countries, then doing an awesome trip in New Zealand, camping, hitchhiking, hanging out with so many cool people.
And I went back to Australia to do a 4000 km road trip from Melbourne to Perth. Amazing west south coast in WA was absolutely stunning.
Flying to Chile in May. Seeing something in the south and Easter island(Isla Pascua) in Chile then heading to Brazil, Bolivia and Peru.

I'm traveling in South America now.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Taiwanese live in Yilan, my hometown are full of friendly and passionate people. I want to have some different and adventurous trips. Traveling with locals is the way I pretty enjoy.

Cycling in Taiwan by bicycle for 2000k, staying in strangers home to work with them, to live with them in amazing 50 days! Still so vivid even it was in September 2014.

I was an actor and did a show in 2012 Taipei Drama Festival.
Love movies more.
Just a beginner and for fun.

Love to capture photos as well.

In Taiwan, boys should do a compulsory military service for one year, I served as a firefighter for one year, saving lives but seeing many passed away as well.
