I'm April, born in 1993, now work and live in Beijing.
I am a dog person, a urban dancer, a foodie who also cooks a little, and a self-styled travel blogger who has only around 500 fans lol.
I was a Business Development Rep, who used to get paid to travel but now stuck in the office with an unstoppable yearning to get back on the road. I LOVE travel! After that, I worked as an operation specialist for the company that developed TikTok.
I believe in kindness and true friendship.
I believe that the only path to happiness is knowing exactly what you are passionate about and pull yourself toward that.

And this pretty much summarizes who I am.
(Wish this list could go on with “a photographer”, “a writer”, and “a painter”）

Music, Movies, and Books

Amelie has been my fav for almost ten years (Not sure how to spell it cuz it’s supposed to be in French) and I almost watch it more than once every year.
I can appreciate most genres of music, and I have a long list of musicians and performers that I like : Taylor Swift, Cold Play, Maroon 5, Drake, or just some random stuff that I feel gives a good vibe.
It’s probably cliche now but the book Eat Pray Love means a lot me when I was a young and naive girl (still young lol)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I demanded to meet with the general manager of a 5-star hotel to “discuss cooperation” on my very first business trip in my life after a 4-day training; I kept feeding the stray puppies near my company for 5 months till they’re old enough to live on the streets on their own; I decided to quit my job on my birthday after working for 1 year as the coolest and the most meaningful birthday present ever. I was chased by a fierce dog when I was riding a bicycle on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam (does this one count?) I went on a solo trip to Japan to celebrate my birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Chinese language and cuisine of course! And some dance moves I can teach.

I can cook Chinese,the kind that most Chinese restaurants don’t have on their menu; Photography is my new obsession, I can take photos for you while we explore the city.
