About Me

After graduation from UNC Charlotte I found a job in San Jose, and moved to CA in August 2019. I’m so in love with the divers environment of here. I have a communicative personality and usually try to find more friends around the world. I like meeting new people and visiting new places. I believe that we should see all different cultures to get their good stuff. There is no point in sticking to a small area and a specific ethnicity. When I understood about this app I really became a fan of its idea.
