The pandemic takes a toll on my road trip hankering and traveling pursuit, and as a traveler who loves to blog about leisure trip and getaway (I ventured into vlogging just three years ago), this period is like a death sentence to my passion.
However, seeing someone finding joy on the road, embracing a life of fun and outdoor adventure brings so much inspiration.
Chinese heartthrob, Wu Lei, is the epitome of warmth and fun. I always feel giddy each time he smile. His bubbly personality is infectious.
Lately, I've been hooked to C-Drama. I love historical and costume series, it seems a perfect antidote to a boring life during the pandemic.
Historical drama allows me to delve better on the life of the past, as if we're stepping back in time and enjoying the scenery of the old world. It feels great.
But it's the drama heroes that often linger in my memories long after the series done. Like there's some kind of mystery shrouding their personality. So, discovering what they're up to in real life is always awesome.
Since I am also into travel vlogging, I am easily fascinated with everything about adventure vlogs. You could just imagine how ecstatic I was when I discovered Wu Lei is also into travel vlogging. Hugs! 😄
Wu Lei's passion for cycling adventure
Wu Lei, who is also known by his English stage name Leo Wu, is a 21-year-old Chinese actor, brand endorser and commercial model. (His complete profile at the end of this article)
If you have followed his career and watched most of his film and TV series, you would surely notice his warm personality, his love for fun and his passion towards outdoor adventure.
Very athletic with a great sense of humor, his pretty face and sexy eyes, which become endearing when he smile, are added bonus to his boy-next-door image.
I could go back to being 16 years old giggling to a matinee idol by just staring at his cute face and gorgeous eyes 😍 His smile can really melt a fan girl's heart.
And now comes his love for adventure, his athleticism and passion for vlogging is fascinating. Isn't that awesome? 😍I find hot men sexier and cuter when they do travel vlogging. I swear.
Everyone loves adventure, even the most introvert person. There's something in it that fills the void in our existence. Perhaps it's the unmatched joy being in a different surrounding, discovering exciting stuff in the environment. There's always thrill whenever we are in a different place.
I love traveling, it's a great escape, and in this difficult moment of our time, nothing more wonderful and inspiring than experience life somewhere else. To a scenic village or quiet island, chilling in a lakeside or relaxing on a beach side, and just watch the world go by.
So when I saw Wu Lei's cycling vlog, it feels like "home". It's a passion that I can relate so much because I am also into vlogging, snapping the beauty of nature and the tiny details of life, recording my discovery about the environment.
Watching him enjoying life on the road, exploring the place, wandering around, makes me wanna go back traveling again.
I love Wu Lei's fresh disposition and warm personality, he seems a person full of life always, full of energy.
His sense of humor, funny side, passion for the outdoor life is so inspiring, it's as if the world is young again. Peaceful and full of wonders 💕
It's inspiring to see celebrities embracing a life of fun and leisure, going on real adventure, doing some ordinary stuff. It makes them look more human and relatable, more charming and lovable.
Wu Lei's recent cycling trip to a scenic countryside is just so uplifting. It makes me longed for a relaxing road trip somewhere else.
The first time I watched Wu Lei's road trip on his bike was on the vlog he posted just before the premiere of The Long Ballad in March this year
It was his solo cycling trip in the Fujian province, exploring the suburban areas of Quanzhou and Xiamen where he logged 94.44 kilometers.
Donning his cycling gear and camera, he did a fun vlogging trip from road to road, displaying his mesmerizing athleticism and enthusiasm navigating the long bridge, and around the city where at one point he got lost, entering a dead-end street.
It was awesome watching him got confused in the road dwarfed with sky-scraping buildings, trying to figure out how to get back to the street. I guess it was in Xiamen city.
His love for outdoor pursuit and sense of freedom enjoying life on his bike is such an awesome sight to behold.
He looks so gorgeous and manly even more. I guess he's very fun to be with, making him a wonderful traveling buddy.
His humorous city adventure on his bike has so many mishaps but you could see how enthusiastic he was with the experience.
In another scene, he dropped by in a restaurant to order a plate of vegetables but ended up having a pot of stewed vegetables.
Such a fun watching him discovering things on the road. It's a true spirit of a passionate adventurer, someone who is not afraid to explore the unknown, discover things and enjoy the experience.
And because he was on a solo cycling trip, naturally he could not get a better snap for himself, which most solo travelers (like me at one point) can relate.
So he called some random folks on the street to take him a picture. It was so cute, I remember my own solo travel adventure where I asked people also on the street to take a picture of me haha!
During one of the promotional guesting of The Long Ballad casts in the Happy Camp, Reba guessed accurately the distance he traveled (94.44 km) on that cycling trip from Quanzhou to Xiamen.
I was so impressed with Reba's good memory and attention of details. How could she figure out exactly that Wu Lei's mystery number was about his cycling adventure? Even Lei Lei was obviously surprised. 😍
This June, our hot boy was off the road again. This time with some of his friends in the Men's Riding Club, taking a road trip in the scenic Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang province.
He was, once again, very enthusiastic exploring the place, enjoying moment on the road and relishing the joy of adventure.
His travel vlog displayed the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake and the stunning landscape of Zhejiang province. Calm, relax and tranquil. And I could sense how happy he was with that getaway.
A well-deserved adventure for a man who's been quite busy with work the past months filming, doing brand endorsements, event guesting.
Qiandao Lake
Wu Lei's travel vlog shows the tourism wonder of Qiandao Lake, a human-made fresh water lake located in Chun'an county, Zhejiang province.
More than 1,000 islands dotted the lake, also known as Thousands island, the most popular are the Bird island, Monkey island, Snake island and Lock island.
What made this island ideal for nature lover and hikers is that over 90% of the area is forested. Plus you could get the perfect view of the placid lake, soothing to troubled senses. Now, that's something worthy to put in our travel bucket list.
Watching this travel vlog of Wu Lei makes me dream to be on the road again, marveling at the scenic beauty of nature, exploring the undiscovered places, taking hundreds of photos and sharing to the world the story of adventure.
It's a great breather to embrace the coolness of the environment, admire its beauty and natural colors, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
I love Wu Lei's youthful approach in life, his energy is contagious, it refreshes our view towards the current world, that it's not all about sadness, loneliness, misery and deaths.
Life is also about fun, about happiness, about cultivating our passion, and finding joy on the things we love doing.
It inspires me to consider the outdoor pursuit again, and yes, life itself is an adventure, and we are traveling in the road of life to discover unchartered paths and enjoy the natural gift of the mother earth.
It's really awesome to see bubbly personality having fun, cracking jokes and epitomizing fresh attitude towards life like Wu Lei, it helps us to appreciate beautiful things amidst the onslaught of the pandemic.
Leo's passion for adventure and some wrong-turns during his solo trip, reminded me of my own adventure in foreign countries some years back.
My DIY trips in Vietnam and Cambodia with two friends had some wrong-turns too. We got lost in the city, but did not feel scared because we ended up enjoying the adventure and discovering our hidden courage.
In Cambodia's capital, we also dropped by in a small restaurant to try local dishes but we were served with a plate of strange local food. But I ended up enjoying it.
Wu Lei as a travel vlogger
He is an awesome travel vlogger! I am so impressed the way he does things on camera during his trip. He really enjoys it and very passionate to tell the world about his adventure.
I saw his vlog about Rome and Florence. Not sure when he did it but I guess it was during his photoshoot for an Italian brand.
He looked like a seasoned vlogger, hungry for adventure, feeling the thrill of exploring the cities. It brings back so many great memories in my mind.
I have never been to Italy but I have been to foreign countries on a DIY trip and the excitement of being in a new place, getting immersed to local culture and observing the environment and the people always gives me a thrill and a different level of joy. So I could clearly feel how Wu Lei felt that moment.
Watching him embracing his passion for the outdoor life, finding freedom and happiness on his road trip, and do vlogging brings some wonderful memories of a life during pre-pandemic, and those countless adventures I took.
It helps me breathe a promising life again.
I am excited to watch Wu Lei's next vlogging trip. I can't wait to witness him again enjoying life on the road, doing stuff he truly loved doing because that's pure joy.
Vlogging is such a fulfilling pursuit. You can watch some of my travel vlogs in my YouTube Channel, HERE
I wish things will get better in the coming days so that restrictions on travel would be eased and I could get back on the road again, exploring the environment and sharing stories about MY GOURMAND TRAVEL.
