- I was born and raised in China, in a region where I was surrounded by the Himalayan mountains. Since I was very young, I've hiked mountains two and three thousand meters high and rafted in the long mountain rivers.
- I'm fascinated with new places and cultures. When I finished high school in China, I decided to go to study in France. Since then, I have traveled around Europe, Middle East and also Asia. First France, then Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Nepal, and Vietnam. I traveled by foot, on cycles, and even rafting and snorkeling.
- When I turned 27, I decided to move to Bali, Indonesia, wanting to discover a new world with a natural tropical environment. It was here that I took up traveling as a profession, sharing my experience and tips with other travelers.
