CURRENT MISSION: Finding a balance between many aspects of life and befriending like-minded 😊
UPCOMING TRIP to the US for the first time as an adult; I am currently living in both Taipei and London where I have my family - happy to meet up and potentially host when I am back!

I am currently serving as a consultant in UNDP to support projects advancing sustainable development, specifically on financing policies in developing countries.

Some key words of me:
Easy going. Adventurous. Willing to share and help. Believe in good intention and exchange.
Curious to learn. Cyclist. Sporty. Like reading and writing. Minimalist. Self-developer.
