ABOUT ME

Born in Taipei, Taiwan; lived in Canada when I was little.

Bubbly and yet introverted, I love offbeat people, provoking ideas and venturing to new places. Other than this, I enjoy nature, poetry, music, art and rooftop partying :)

(political) philosophy / cycling / singing / weird dancing / astrology (Ptolemy and Hindu tradition)
