ABOUT ME

I'm an engineering lecturer, a minimalist and tree-hugger, an adventurous spirit, an Argentine Tango dancer, a creative cook, and an outdoor lover.

I love cooking as much as learning and sharing cultures

I have obsession with efficiency, sustainability, and simple living.

PHILOSOPHY

- What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
- You are the master of your fate and slave of your fear
- Every cloud has a silver lining
- The greatest pleasure in life is to do what people say you can't do

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I did a solo road trip and couch surfing for 8 days in US during Spring Break: MI - GA - SC - NC. It was amazing, each night I stayed in a different city with a different host with different lifestyle :)

I solo backpacked in Croatia for a week. It's an amazing country with beautiful scene of the coast & fruit gardens, and yummy food (I love their prunes, artisan bread & farmers' cheese). I once surprised a fish store seller when buying every type of fish that he had, and then I needed to finish all in one day before heading to a new city.
