I am originally from China (lived there age 0-8, 10-12) and I used to live in the US full time. In February 2021, I quit my job as an architectural lighting designer in New York and became a digital nomad pursuing my passions in content creation and photography. Since then, I lived in Egypt for 4 months, Bulgaria for 2 months, then back in the US for 2 months, Mexico for 2 months, Peru for 3 months, and Ecuador for 1.5 months. I am currently back in the US. I love art and nature and am very open person.

I love art and nature, and everything in between.

I went to Pennsylvania State University - Bachelor of Architecture, minored in Sustainability Leadership; International Arts. Studied abroad in Rome for 4 months and in Tanzania for 6 weeks.

I have 3 Instagrams for my different interests. And because I only have a few references on CS, please feel free to check out my instagrams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess just pushing myself to always care for the environment and directing my career in that direction.
Quitting my 9-5 and finally pursuing my life in full.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always will be a student of life.
I had a complicated and interesting life growing up, I moved around a lot so I do have a lot to say if someone wants to learn more about what I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take professional photos of the host’s home. I am a certified yoga instructor, so I can practice yoga and meditation with the host!
