My Travel Story

by: Tristal Chew Start Date: Oct 11, 2023 - End Date: Jul 10, 2024
Hi everyone, I have always been fascinated by the rich and diverse culture of Xinjiang, a region in northwest China that is home of nature and full of culture. As I have read and watched many documentaries about their history, art, music, cuisine, and traditions which make me feel like going there to experience and explore more about them.

I have been going through some personal challenges and struggles in my life. Though this trip I hope to enjoy and open my heart to the nature, culture, and community in Xinjiang and get back the connection with the world. And also can share my own culture and faith with local and learn from their perspectives and experiences.

The trip will cost RM 12000  which includes everything from flights, accommodation to food. I have saved up RM 2,000  from my part-time job, but I still need RM 10000 more. If there have extra money, I will donate to Xinjiang Aid which is organisation that provide humanitarian assistance, educational opportunities, cultural exchange, and interfaith dialogue to the local communities in Xinjiang. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and Your generosity and kindness mean a lot to me and more I can share the Xinjiang story with all of you! Appreciate all of you!
