Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Hi all, I am Matthew and I am currently working in Hong Kong. Before that I have spent more than a decade in England and studying and working. I love to hearing your unique and extraordinary travelling story and different cultures, which would enlighten me. So looking forward to meet some new friends here and especially from you
PHILOSOPHY
Work hard, play harder.
There is a Chinese saying (讀萬卷書不如行萬里路)"It would be better to travel ten thousands miles than reading ten thousand book", which roughly translate into travelling is much better than reading. Go and experience life yourself, feel it rather than just reading or hearing from other. Through experience you would become a better and more complete person.
Although you can't change the world, but you can always change your attitude to life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
