Hi! My name is Linjia Li. I'm from Southern China. When I was a student in a Chinese junior high school, I spent most of my spare time on homework and discussions about questions with my classmates. It seems that the knowledge on the textbooks are the most important thing in my life. However after I traveled with my friends to US when I was in junior two, I found that the knowledge and the experience that I learn during the trip are also helpful and important to my life. For example, I got to know more about American culture by talking to native Americans than reading those descriptions on textbooks. In addition, I know how to make plans by efficiently using the time, exploring more about the local culture with in a limited time. After that I love traveling and I have been to South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and U.S.. Every time I visit a place, I will spend time talking with the locals to understand the local culture and customs. Also, I will take many pictures during my trips in order to capture all the memorable moments and beautiful sceneries. Last but not least, I will taste the local delicious food.

After every trip, I know more about a place and I always feel refreshed. Every end of a journey means a new start which makes me feel positive. I'm looking forward to starting my new journey!
