     To this day，I still remember the day I called my parents，who are also deaf，to discuss my plans to travel the world.Both of my parents gave me their full support.They told me to go ahead and helped book my flight to Thailand.
     I chose Southeast Asia as my first，and I was fortunate to spend it with my good friend Mic Dolan.We spent about six weeks backpacking through Thailand，Vietnam，and Cambodia，having fun with tiger cubsand riding elephants.There was a new adventure every day.We paused long enough in Thailand to get certified in scuba diving，which turned out to be my favorite part.After that trip，I flew to Europe to meet another friend，John Hathaway.In this part of the journey，John and I turned our travels into a full-time adventure and we shared all of our stories on the Vlog platform Seek The World.

• 3．Shopping online make it easy for pet seekers to choose more pets，which was once largely limited to cats and dogs.Today，one should not feel surprised if someone steps out to show off their uniqueness with a rope on a salamander （蟆嫄），just as others walk their dogs.However，the owners might cause a challenge to the nation's biological security（生物安全）.
     Many of these unique pets are often caught in the wild，requiring hunters to enter nature reserves illegally to catch these protected species.So when some people pay money in advance to get these rare pets，their crime is no less than that of the hunters.Never thought one could spend a few years in jail for buying a pet，right？
     In fact，lots of rare pets were thrown away.The pet owners are likely to throw them away because of a little trouble.Some pet lovers raised crocodile turtles（鳄鱼龟）without realizing that when the animal grows its neck could stretch 40 centimeters long，causing greater challenges.However，when pet owners give up these rare pets，they increase the risks for local species.That is because many of these "pets" are foreign species.They have almost no natural enemies in China.As a result，when they are thrown into the wild，they will destroy the local ecology（生态）.
     Some of the abandoned "pets" might also be dangerous.In 2014，there were reports that someone had put poisonous snakes into the wild in Shenzhen，Guangdong province.
     One way of strengthening monitoring of these rare pets is by strengthening the regulation of online platforms.As most of these rare pets and their food are sold online，it is time the online platform honor their duties and strengthen monitoring，so that the rare pets don't cause anyone any problem.
     There is a reason why humans traditionally pick cats or dogs for pets.Maybe，one should just stick to that simple choice.
