Interesting Tidbits About Me

travel bug
Traveling everywhere isn’t always easy for everyone. Sometimes, we might lack the time, money, or access to certain places. However, there are many ways to learn about the world and its history without physically traveling. Reading books, watching history shows on TV, and researching online can provide valuable insights.
While I enjoy visiting historical sites, when possible, I also rely on resources like National Geographic magazines, engaging history videos on YouTube, and online communities where people discuss historical topics.
environmental advocate
I’m deeply passionate about environmental issues and sustainability. For me, it’s not just a cause; it’s a way of life. I believe that every small action we take can make a big difference in preserving our planet for future generations. Whether it’s reducing waste, conserving energy, or advocating for policy changes, I’m dedicated to making a positive impact. Together, we can create a more sustainable world for all living beings.
fascinating goals
My first goal is to visit all the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites are a testament to the diverse and rich cultural, natural, and historical heritage of our world. As I travel to these sites, I hope to learn, experience, and appreciate the beauty and significance of our world’s heritage, and perhaps inspire others to do the same.
The second goal is hoping to work or volunteer for United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). Joining their team would allow me to directly contribute to improving the lives of those in need, advocating for children’s rights, and supporting UNICEF’s mission of ensuring every child has a fair chance in life.
“Keep nurturing your passion for travel and savor every moment of your adventures. Embrace the uniqueness of each journey, treasure the memories, and revel in the beauty and richness of our world.

My favorites
Sound Exploration
I absolutely adore music, especially when I’m plugged into my Bose or Sony earphones, feeling the bass thump so intensely it’s almost like my eardrums are going to burst! I’m into every kind of music out there, but one thing’s for sure—at my age, I still get a kick out of rocking to Led Zeppelin! And here’s a fun fact: even though I can’t name a song or sing a single line, music is my lifeline. Well, maybe I can’t function as well without it—I’m kidding, of course!
Sneaker Culture
I have a few collections of Jordan and some designer shoes, and let me tell you, Nike are incredibly comfy to wear. I’m really glad that I can influence other people to wear Nike shoes too. They’re just the best! The design and cushioned soles make them perfect for my everyday adventures. Whether I’m exploring a new city or simply running errands, my Nike shoes keep me stylish and comfortable all day long.
Photography
Photography is a wonderful way to express creativity, and traveling offers endless inspiration. Whether capturing landscapes, architecture, street scenes, or portraits, a camera allows travelers to share their unique perspectives. Personally, I enjoy photographing landscapes and macro subjects.
Camera
People bring cameras when they travel to capture moments and memories. Photographs serve as visual records of experiences, places visited, and people met. Looking back at these images can evoke nostalgia and serve as reminders of the journey. My cameras are the Nikon 7200, Sony A6000, Olympus TG7, and Sony A7 IV and adding another compact camera soon!
Luggage and Bag
Travelers can choose from a wide array of luggage sizes and styles to suit their specific needs. Whether you’re embarking on a short weekend getaway or a longer vacation, selecting the right-sized bag is key to ensuring you can pack all your essentials without overstuffing. I choose Samsonite’s hard-shell luggage, Eagle Creek’s versatile two-wheelers, Osprey’s durable luggage, Eddie Bauer‘s packable bags and the security features of Pacsafe bags and backpacks.
