I’m Joey, or Chinese name ZHUO from China, Fujian province. I want to explore the world, new guys, and myself, and make new friends with other. I like simple cook, taste new kind food, drink beer and new brand craft beer. About sport, I like cycling, fast or just rambling the city by bike. I also interested in baseball football and volleyball but not great at them.

I’m freshman in the university, studying psychology now and I’m interested in everything about psychology, sociology and philosophy, even though I just learn how to recite knowledge in the first year of university. I’d like to find what is really myself and find the best way to experience my life with a consistent and powerful mind, also I want to have different opinion or perspective about the whole world, and during traveling in different country, meeting some people new, I can feel my cognitive about the world has changed.

About travel, I have been to the lots of city in China, for me most of city is really same, because I’m not deeply understand the complex history of China, and in the city everyone just gather to live, cuisine same. But I have a dream to drive the car to travel around the China, go to the rural area, west area, that will be interesting for me. And go abroad let me visit different cultures and different people, and let me find way to connect the world, that’s really open my eyes a lot, and give me chance to skip my narrow thought that just think about myself.

Sometime I can’t talk a lot with other and can’t break the ice, but I’m not a rigid person, just little bit shy, if we talk more and familiar enough, I’m sure we’ll have so comfortable chat. My English is not great, so I also want to practice my English by talking with other native English speaker. I have no too bad hobby except sometime will drink a lot while gathering with friends.
