For my birthday this year, I am on a business trip in San Diego. This is not my first time in San Diego, but it is my first time traveling for work on my birthday, perhaps reflecting the steep ramp-up at work for me over the past year.
今年生日，我在聖地牙哥出差。不是第一次來聖地牙哥，卻是第一次在生日當天出差，或許呼應了過去一年來急遽上升的工作強度和難度。
33 · Kilimanjaro | 33 · 吉力馬札羅
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。
31・蒼茫荒野｜31・Desolation Wilderness
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.
