Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite song: Exit Music (for a film) — Ramin Djawadi
As for music, I love all the music from Beethoven (Moonlight Sonata is my life theme song!!!), Mozart, and Liszt. My favorite bands are IMAGINE DRAGONS & GLASS ANIMALS!!! I am not a big fan of movies, but I will definitely be interested in some if somebody has recommendations.
I love reading, and I can write an incredibly long list of favorite books, but generally, any piece from Franz Kafka will be enough to infuse my passion. I also love Italo Calvino, Haruki Murakami, and so on.
I love visual arts. Some favorite artists: Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Vassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Hannah Höch, Renoir, Andy Warhol, Cézanne, Paul Signac
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Level 1: I've traveled across China (from east to west) alone in 25 days when I was 16.
- Level 2: (updated 2022.8) I completed a 3-month solo backpacking trip in Europe when I was 18. I visited nine countries.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am enthusiastically, painfully, yet still happily learning German and French. I am always ready for sharing and learning from others about anything - travel tips, culture, language, experience, etc.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share anything I know about my travel experience, my story in China, and my learning experience for languages.
