Hi friends! Welcome to my postcard project :)
As a kid i always imagined travelling the world and in April this year, I started this crazy adventure - furthering my studies across 3 continents, together with a cohort of amazing colleagues from all around the world! While burying our heads in reading about migration, culture and history, and social theories, many of the most inspiring and memorable moments actually come in unexpected ways- conversations with a street vender, a weird food i've never seen…just being in touch with the tiny things in the daily lives of ordinary people.
I’ve created the postcard project to share these tiny stories with you through my doodles, and to crowdfund my studies! Your participation in this project will be a big support for me to continue my studies and travelling, as moving around means it will not be easy to find a stable sustainable income. Each postcard is originally designed and specially drawn for this project. Subscribe to receive ONE postcard EVERY MONTH from Argentina, India, Germany and other places (see schedule below). You can also subscribe for your family and friends as a special gift for them. You're also invited to collaborate in this project by translating your curiosity into the postcards - tell me one thing you’re interested in knowing more about!
Can't wait to post to you!

從小我就有兩個很老土的夢想 - 環遊世界和世界和平(哈)。雖然世界應該暫時不會和平 (/__\)，但我有幸今年4月開始一個獨特的研究生課程，在兩年期間至少3個不同的地區／城市讀書生活，跟一群來自世界各地的同學相處， 了解全球化對我們今天的世界的影響。當我們遊走世界不同的角落時，我發現很多時候讓我大開眼界的，不是很偉大的社會理論也並非旅遊書所說的五星級佳餚，而是在平凡生活中偶然碰到的點滴－ 跟路邊小販的一次對話，發現一種從沒見過的街邊小食等等。
這種人與人，人與生活的接觸也許也是我們這個資訊爆炸的年代失卻的。我希望透過小插畫記錄旅途上的故事，通過明信片把故事送到你的郵箱裡。這也是一個眾籌計劃－由於不斷地轉換環境，找一份穩定的工作也不太容易。你的參與將會對我的學習和生活開支帶來很大的支持! 你將會每個月收到一張明信片，也可以當做一份禮物跟家人朋友分享。歡迎你告訴我一些你有興趣知道的事，讓你的好奇成為這個計劃的一部分 :)
期待寄明信片給你!
