In Their Own Words

A travel enthusiast's guide to exploring the world sustainably

“When visiting Lijiang, I was invited by new friends from the local Naxi community to visit their home. Even today, images of the crystal-clear sky and pristine river of the town, along with the warmth of the local people, remain vivid in my mind. I am fortunate to have turned my wanderlust into an academic career. While I will continue to make expeditions for leisure or academic purposes, I invite you to join the global movement towards sustainable tourism, so that we may continue enjoying travel wonders at our next destination.”

“During my time as a student, I acquired not only professional knowledge in Physical Education but also participated in specialised skills programmes that equipped me with strategies for teaching and supporting students with special educational needs (SEN). This training has proven invaluable in my current role, as I frequently encounter a substantial number of SEN students.”
