About Me

I am very grateful for everything I have encountered in my life and am very passionate about helping more people to have my "luck". - I wrote this almost 10 years ago on couchsurfing but i think it still applies.

Before I used to list a lot of so called accomplishments to make myself seem interesting but now I realized none of that matters. To form connections, it's probably more just who we are, what we love and what we are willing to offer each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have 200k+ followers as a Chinese content creator making mental health and personal growth related ckntent. I feel very fortunate whenever I hear how much these videos have helped people walk out of darkness and became fuller versions of themselves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know a whole lot, some about personal development, some about social media/story telling and some about running businesses. I coach people to live to the fullest and business to reach their full potential. If that's helpful, I can help you with those. I guess I also know a good amount about China so if you are ever curious, I have a lot of interesting facts and theories to share. I also just travel a lot if you want any travel tips or want to be connected with people from certain parts of the world.

In terms of learning, I'm curious about everything. I love learning from others' stories and culture. My secret wish is to live a million different life and talking with others really make me feel I'm living through them.
