How Sewing Helped Me Survive a 41-Country Trip
When I packed a small set of sewing scissors for the international trip I thought would take 12 months, I had no idea how much I’d need that craft on my coming adventure. In the early days of planning, I thought I’d do most of my sewing beforehand — ideally making myself a capsule wardrobe I could wear through a six-continent trip to research singleness.

What can be done with 40,000 origami cranes?
Folklore says if you fold 1000 origami cranes, you get a wish. I have a big wish. I wish for world peace. So, I find paper. I use scissors to cut it into a square. I write a secret wish on the paper. I fold it into an origami crane. I give it away. This is my simple yet powerful project, 1000 Cranes 4 Peace.

Ode to Paris
Paris is the beloved city of thousands of people around the world. It is a city that is associated with memories, love, vacations, and the education of people from various backgrounds. It is also geographically a place of freedom. Furthermore, it is no coincidence that, for decades, many persecuted people who manage to escape the dictatorial and totalitarian regimes of their countries have often chosen Paris as a safe haven.

Lost
Your existence is the echo of the night wind escaping. An unplanned trip brings unexpected peace to the heart. The bus is attached to the rolling Panshan Highway, and it is a cliff with a low eyebrow. It's a long drive, and the sun is flickering because of thick clouds. I tilted my head and suppressed my eyes in the nearby L. She sat quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, and her hair was as neat as the mood. Do you know, for many years, I am willing to stay where I am, quietly observing the attitude of neglecting words and deeds, and how I have an extremely pleasing root in you? After a few hours of turbulence, I finally arrived at my destination. When I got off the bus, I smelled the clear air after a storm comes a calm, and there were few passengers around me. I took my step, took a big breath and stretched my limbs, which made the air flowing around me drive myself to secretly rot in a corner of the city.

Travel with your heart
No matter what season, traveling will change a person's mood for a period of time. Every day, we shuttle in the busy city, occasionally feel a little lonely, sometimes shuttle in the confused street scene, and sometimes feel familiar but unfamiliar. In the bustling city, there are many lonely and tired souls, with faces scattered in this reinforced concrete jungle. It is our eternal pursuit and final destination to quickly pass through the lush and vast land outside the window of the car.

You Can Find Awe Where the Words Run Out
This is where the words run out Between white-crowned mountains striped with shadows and furred by forests, on the slow-breathing skin of an ancient lake. The reflective water turns the mountains upside down. The sun becomes a bright bar of gold that points at everyone who looks at it.

Nature Journal
It’s been raining for what feels like weeks. But over the last few days something has changed. The skies have grown a brighter blue and the clouds have slowly dissipated from the ugly dark grey to white and fluffy and then nothing at all. Leaving a sea of blue above us in the sky.

Here, or Anywhere
You’re here looking for answers. Or, you’re here knowing you’ll guffaw at the ones offered to you like they’re tiny golden gifts from the stars and not overwritten, under-developed fortune cookies. But you’re here anyway. You like being here. You like being anywhere.
