Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle.

ABOUT ME

I am Doris from Shandong Province, China, after a four-year uni study in Tianjin, I settled in Beijing with my husband Harry and two lovely cats.

I used to work as human resources manager in a WOFE based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from Oct 2018, I moved forward to another startup (a free video streaming platform headquartered in San Francisco) My husband and I both work in the IT industry because we love its flexibility and vitality. It’s also the most trending (and money-driven? Lol) industry in China.

I like to make contact with different kinds of people and open to new minds/ lifestyles. In traditional Chinese Taoism they say people has innate evilness, while I presuppose innate kindness!

I love exploration, not only geographically, but spiritually. My husband and I used to talk a lot about the meaning of life, and I got obsessed about the universe by reading “Three Bodies” series!

I can be a social person while I need to save myself some quietness every day too. So you can both find me dancing/laughing at a party, and laying on the sofa/beach reading or just doing nothing.

My husband said I’m good at observing small things that people usually tend to ignore, I guess that’s from my profession 🤭

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem 😉

Musik, Filme und Bücher

🎵 Avril Lavigne, Alan Walker, Coldplay, IU, Backstreet Boys
My favorite Chinese singer 莫文蔚

🎬 I watch a lot of movies in all genres (no horror though 🈲️) because I work in the steaming and entertainment industry so I got resources to find movies for free lol
movies I’ve watched for more than 5 times: Titanic; Harry Potter series; Avatar.
Movie genres I’ll usually search for when I don’t know what to watch: any movie related to WW2
I’m into fantasy, sci-fi movies and books, sometimes documentaries too. Very picky about love&romance ones as some can be time-wasting and cliche 🤔

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

👶 To be born in the world
✈️ Travel alone to many places like LA, Japan, SF, Abu Dhabi, etc.
🎎 Marry my husband :)
🤿 Diving during our honeymoon in Bali island and see amazing underwater world. It was my first diving and we went to as deep as 18 meters underwater 😳
🥾 Tried to hike in Yunnan Yubeng with the highest altitude of 4000 meters but didn’t make it, that allowed me to know my body limit, so I usually hike at low altitude areas.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Yep I can teach you Chinese cuisine cook which I'm quite good at
and share with you my life experience
I’m also a Zumba instructor, so maybe we can Zumba together :)
