About Me

🗺️ World Rover. The phrase “have itchy feet” is just made for me, I always want to travel or move to a different place, to do something different. I want to experience different cultures, meet different people, and see more possibilities of life.

📷 Life Recorder. I like recording my life by photos and words, they always remind me of how I become myself now and inspire me of my future picture.

🍽️ Delicacy Tracker. Nothing can wake me up except the smell of food. Everywhere I go, I love try the local food. I also like to cook for myself and my friends, it’s big pleasure to see others enjoy my cooking.

🪞Self Explorer. On the way is not always comfortable and enjoyable, but I believe that every experience matters, everything I encounter is like mirror which help me to know more about myself, that’s the point I really enjoy.

Before COVID, I traveled a lot, but had to press the pause button in the last few years. Now I just pack my bags and start again:

📌 2023.6-2024.6, work as an AuPair in America, plan to Alaska in June, 2024
📌 2024.7-X, in Australia with work and holiday visa

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵Music
I enjoy different styles of music, rock, pop, jazz, country, classic, fierce or soft, with or without lyrics, all depends on my mood. And welcome to recommend your favourite music to me!

I found myself loving the rhythm and feel of percussion recently, if you play jazz drums or African drums🪘 , please reach out to me~

🎞️ Movie
Not a movie fan, but sometimes enjoy watching a movie to kill time.

📚 Book
Usually I travel because reading a book, or read because I travel to a new place. As a Chinese saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.
I come to America because of a series of books called “Look Close to the United States ”, and now I’m reading books labelled as shaping the United States.
I also like to read books of psychological, sociological and anthropological topic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Several years ago, I would say being a volunteer in Ukraine and teaching Chinese there is cool, traveling alone in Indonesia is amazing.
Now I’d like to say being honest with myself is amazing and cool, and I’m still making effort to do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Chinese. I got Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of other languages, and I am teaching kids and Adults Chinese now.

Learn: Japanese, Spanish, why and how America comes to be America

Share: cooking, travel experience, and some personal thoughts about mental, psychology and sociology. Most of the time, I’m a good listener rather than a speaker, willing to listen to you guys’ story!
