I am Chung Ju, a Taiwanese, 30 years old. live in a countryside of southern Taiwan.
My home is a Beautiful place. There is a small mountain range just behind my home and a farm in front of my home.
My parents plant some vegetable and fruit in the farm. just for self eating, not for sale.

My job is a mountain porter, I carry food, pot, tent and anything which is needed in a mountain
then hike into the mountain cooking for customers.
It is like sherpa of Nepal. you can call it sherpa of Taiwan.
Even it isn't high as Himalaya. But it is still high. I usually work on 10000 ft(3000m) altitude.
I love my job because it is my interest,I enjoyed in it.
I like hiking, cycling, traveling(of course) and photographing.
I think a bike which is a best gear for travel.
it can get you somewhere a motor or a car unable to reach.
it is fast enough to pass boring route but still slow enough to not miss any beauty

I have been Australia working holiday for two years and have been Philippine to study English for 16 weeks.
But my English is still not fluent.
I was working hard and saving up for a journey.
I plan cycling from Anchorage to Ushuaia.

Reading is one of my hobby
I usually read about history, science and biography.
Jared Mason Diamond is one of my most favorite authors.
I have read every books he did.
Now I am reading Toms river.
