ABOUT ME

I am an undergraduate student in East Asian Studies in Montreal, Quebec. I don't know for sure where that will take me, but, for now, I'm thinking about continuing my studies in international development, in international communication, in international journalism, or in anything that starts with "international".

I am a culture lover, though I admit having a thing for Asia, its diversity and its beauty. I'm open minded; I like trying things I've never done and going places I've never been.

I'm somewhere in between chatty and calm. I'm really easy to live with and I easily get along with anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Act for yourself. If you don't, who will?
