Hi, Alex here, a postgraduate student from China. I studied English language as an undergraduate and am studying applied linguistics, with a concentration on second language acquisition, as a postgraduate.

I'm currently in an exchange program studying at Lancaster University in the UK for one year which allows me to learn and explore more about Europe and its unique, charming cultures and landscapes.

I'm an extroverted, easy-going, and empathetic person passionate about photography, music, travel, food, and languages and cultures as well. I enjoy listening to and learning from people who share their interest and passion on their things.

I'm neat and clean so there's no worry that I'll mess up your space or make troubles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to Iceland whose breathtaking views enchanted me so much 🇮🇸

Teach, Learn, Share

A big Apple fan and love tech and digital devices.

I'm fond of capturing the sky and clouds, especially the afterglow during dusk and dawn, a realm the blurs the border between day and night. It's a enchanting moment when the colours keep shifting from vivid orange to pinkish violet and finally blanketed by midnight blue.

Also, I enjoy the Ultimate Frisbee so much (though I’m not really good at playing it) !!!
