Hi, I am Yanki, graphic designer + photographer
-
I am now on a bike trip from Hong Kong to Norway with my handmade bamboo bike (Yup I made my bicycle).
-
Last year I cycled from Hong Kong through Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Tibet, paused the trip with frostbite and went back to Hong Kong for 6 months. I am now back to the trip and started from Central Asia.
-
Before the bike trip I raised 2500USD to purchase sustainable second hand bicycle for the kids in Marshall Island. I believe traveling or life can always be helping the earth and society. People can help themselves, but the earth cannot be healed by herself.
-
Mind that I don't have green hair now and no more pale white skin because of the bike trip, so if you meet me and think I am a different person don't be confused! hahaha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fundraising for the people in need. This is much meaningful than just traveling around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I experienced traveling alone as a female, quit my job and suddenly go for a long journey. My philosophy of life, not a fake positive person, cheer about the negatives, if there's no darkness we can't see the light.
