I started to travel at 16 years old, did my gap year travel at 22, and reached my 100th country at the age of 29. (Countries that I have visited).

I started travel writing in 2006. So far I have published 3 travel books and one of them became a best-selling book. I have 70,000+ followers on social media. I speak Chinese natively, educated in English and master Spanish. I have the honor to attend the official visits of China with three terms’ Uruguayan presidents, attend the official visit of China of the vice premier of Vanuatu, and meet with the 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations H.E.

I enjoy traveling since childhood and dreamed to become a traveler. My parents brought me to visit many places in China when I was a child. At the age of 16 I started to travel alone.
