Introduction

I've traveled to 5 continents of the world but did not manage to document them.

I hope to start documenting them so that I am able to remember them later on as well as sharing them with my friends and families.

With google mapping and GPS, it makes blogging far more interesting.

On top of the world
The Grand Canyon, USA

Visited 12 out of 52 China Unesco Heritage Sites
