I visited Tanzania in late August to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and do a safari with Callisto, Andy, and Conrad. My trip was truly exceptional — it was my first time ever in Africa, and the experience touched me deeply. Just like the past 9 years, I wanted to do something new and meaningful for my birthday, and my trip to Tanzania exceeded my expectations in every possible way.
今年八月底,我和 Callisto, Andy, Conrad 一起在坦尚尼亞爬了吉力馬札羅山,並去了一趟獵遊。這段旅程對我來說意義非凡——這是我人生第一次去非洲,許多所見所聞都帶給了我深深的震撼與感動。就像過去九年一樣,每年生日我都希望做一件以前沒做過、有意義的事——我在坦尚尼亞的經歷遠遠超出了預期。
32 · Burney Falls | 32 · 伯尼瀑布
I chose to camp at Burney Falls for my 32nd birthday in honor of some of my best friends. Birthday wish this year: be the best version of myself and continue to care for the people around me. I hope this will eventually bring me to where I want to be.
今年我選擇為了我最好的朋友們去伯尼瀑布露營,度過我的32歲生日。對自己32歲的期許:繼續努力成為最好的自己,並持續關照我身邊的人——希望這最終能引領我到達我想去的地方。

今年31歲了,按照往年生日都要探索一個新地方的傳統,我們去了太浩湖畔的蒼茫荒野背包露營。
I am turning 31 this year. Following the tradition of exploring a new place on my birthday every year, we went backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness by Lake Tahoe.
30・阿拉斯加 | 30・Alaska
我很幸運,在過去近十年間能透過旅行不斷地拓展視野、提升自我。三十歲之後,我期許自己能保持一顆年輕又謙卑的心,繼續「讀萬卷書,行萬里路」。
I have been fortunate enough in the past decade to keep broadening my horizons and enriching my knowledge through traveling. After I turn 30, I hope I can maintain a young and humble heart, and continue to “read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.”
29・紅木|29 · Redwood
今年是我「二十幾歲」的最後一年,我送了自己兩件生日禮物。
This is the last year of my twenties, and I got myself two gifts.
