ABOUT ME

I am Amanda Lee, I am a HongKonger. I am working in Corporate Affairs at an international company, someone who is passionate in engaging colleagues to do meaningful volunteering work and hopefully could make some difference in my society. I was graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong majored in Sociology. I am very proud that I had the opportunity to spend a year of university exchange program in Korea in 2011, and 3 months in Europe to 12 cities travelling as a backpacker with my boyfriend who is my husband now. And currently I am planning to explore more about Asia, and will be travelling in Japan during 3 -17 Jul for 2 weeks.

I am an outgoing, optimistic and active person who always curious about this world and want to know this world better. It is why I study sociology, and love travelling a lot. I also sometimes love to be quiet so I like reading, listening to music and watching movies. I like long run for quiet time to think, like badminton. I am also openminded and like to make friends especially from different cultures and backgrounds.^^

PHILOSOPHY
