About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I want to discover and reach how much artistic thing i can do and learn from the world!

ABOUT ME

Adventurous,inquisitive. like to experience new things. People said:Curiosity killed the cat. Hope i have nine lives as cats. cuz nothing is going to stop me to reach new things!!

I'm a Taiwanese and also a hongkonger girl who's living in Las Vegas. A product designer and also jewelry designer. I'm now a pastry arts student! I love to draw when I see anything interesting and inspired me. Painting is like my second language. Sometimes i'm not good at describing things but i can make a quick sketch to tell people what i'm going to say.

An animal lover. Especially cats. I have two lovely cats as you can see in my photos. I'm good at getting along with cats. If anyone need cat sitting I would love to take over the job lol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would like to learn and experience local culture and making new friends.
Want to see the world and find some inspirations. I will bring some simple painting tools with me while traveling. Ready to create some new stuff during the trip.

Interests

Traveling :
Since i started to travel alone i realized that I love it! It's nice to have someone to travel with and look after each other. but some times when I travel along I and spend more time focusing on something I'm really interesting in. For example, once I've been to a place that you can interactive with stingrays. I spend almost two hours to standing there just for starring at those beautiful creatures!
I don't know if I have enough time the go through all the places i want to visit. But I want to do the best as i can in my life. Meeting new friends as possible as I can.

Painting :
I love to try using different materials to paint(create) a picture. Spreading creativity. Once the craziest thing I've used is my blood! In some reason I love seeing liquid flowing. you can see my works are including lots of those elements in it.

Reading :
I love reading for sure. But I prefer movies. You can make yourself experience a totally different world and life in 2-3hours.
Although reading takes more time to get into the story. But I can spread my imagination unlimited and free in someone else's mind. That's the funniest thing to do.

Dancing:
Move baby MOVE!!

Talking to people:
I'm talkative and I can talk for a long time. But you have to used to I'll suddenly drop talking and started to draw. That's the moment I don't know how to express something and I think drawing might be easier for me to explain. Haha

Food, especially sweets:
I love enjoying good food. And I'll cook if I have free time. I'm a picky eater(don't judge me please) but trust me. I can show you lots of delicious food in my home town and you'll love all of them which I recommend!

Movies:
Love love love love looooooove movies
I watch various kind of movies. But not really enjoying with horror and ghosts movies. Even I've watched lots of classic ones.....
