Trip meter: Started from Shenzhen,China; Ended up in Chengdu, my hometown. Duration: 3Months

Those pictures showing here were taken on my 1st backpacking trip. I was bitten by an unknown travel bug during that trip. (Suspect a rare one living in higher altitude area.) As a consequence, I started to feel symptom of difficult adapting normal 9 to 5 life after my return. Have to run away for a couple of months every year to escape the reality. I was hooked ever since.
