ABOUT ME

i'm gwen. i am studying mandarin at ntnu in taipei until around july, then hoping to attend uni here next fall. i enjoy a good soak in the bath, philosophy, intellectual conversations, culture, art and food from around the world. travelling the world is my greatest ambition. i love the sea, and i like to go biking every once in a while. i have a great dislike towards pants, and cold weather. if i had to pick one food to live on for the rest of my life i would choose hummus.

PHILOSOPHY

we are here to be happy, we are here to be sad. here to want, here to give and here to take. we are here to love we are here to envy. we are here. here to feel and experience and we cannot help it.
