ABOUT ME
Recently graduated, I was an English major in Uni, having learnt the language since I was 5. And I'm also trying to pick up some French. Previously, I tutored English for bout three years and began working at Pennsylvania State Office as an intern. Now I'm working full time in Taipei. I enjoy meeting people from all parts of the world. When studying, I made loads of foreign friends at campus, seeing the beauty of my own country through their eyes. It's just great fun being able to communicate with people speaking different languages and learn about their cultures and history at the same time! :)
PHILOSOPHY
"Happiness is elusive. That's why it's important to have a feeling of progress, of growth, and change for the better."
A friend is one who knows who you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still gently allows you to grow." -- William Shakespeare
"A loved one is never truly gone as long as they live on in the hearts of their loved ones."
