Come to Tibet if you are feeling lost

August 17, 2020

To all those friends I met along the journey

You are the most beautiful reason why I travel

To those beautiful souls

To those different reasons for traveling

To those unforgettable memories that we share together

Being a solo traveler

You have no obligation

You can choose to follow others or not

In the end

You go with the flow

But with those who you choose to be your travel mates

From Guangzhou to Lhasa

Total 57 hours by train

Across Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Xi'an, Gansu, Qinghai

I met interesting people along the way

And because of this

I met this two person

Guo Peisen

Zhang Linshuai

I started a trip with them as well

So where should I start?

In the end, we end up in a bigger group

We rent two cars for 7 days

As you can imagine, there are lots of stories in this days

We changed plans becuase of alttitude sickness;

We changed plans becuase of the road condition;

We changed plans becuase of the weather;

But we didn't change our group

No matter what happened

We were together

We drank together;

We got drunk together;

We laughed together;

We cried together;

It has been a week, but it seems like

we knew each other since long time

If I have to make a summary of our trip,

especially our four:

- "Do you really know a person"?

- "You can't really say that you understand a person,

it doesn't matter how long you know him/her"

- "How long it takes for you to like someone"?

- "It doesn't take so long, I believe in love at first sight"

To those three as the picture below

For a better reunion

Why exactly I come to Tibet?

As I mentioned in the video above

“You are lost at times

You are sad at times

You are depressed at times

You want to run away from the city

You want to experience the pure culture and humanity

You want to see the sincere smile”

I was sad because of something

And the best way to let go

I know it by my heart

It's to go somewhere that can cure my sickness

And this place is - TIBET

All we have is "The next day"

In this current situation

In 2020, we realized it's good to be alive

And the rest is not that important anymore

From metropolis to the nature

From buildings to the mountain

From pressure to Freedom

From sadness to happiness

I've seen the most beautiful and breathtaking view

I've seen the mysterious land

I've seen the most authentic outfit

I can feel the magic once I step on this land

I can feel the difference

I've been let go everything and just be myself here

I've been emotional and have to use extra oxygen

I've been thinking of the past but I drop down the past

I've been hiking like crazy and run in the nature

I've been shouting in the wild

I've recognized my different part

The part that I lost when I was in the city

One month in Tibet

A journey towards the West

Lhasa, Xigaze, Mount Kailash, Zhada, Gandan Temple

Lulang, Dingjie, Chentang

West towards the West

I've been to the village where it's the opposite of Nepal

Hitchhiking along the way

One time even go with a car belongs to a construction site

Celebrate my 26 birthdays in a different way

Drink with Sherpa

Tibet

See you in September

At last

I would like to mention

those travel buddies I met on the way
