Hi, my name is Helen. I'm a Chinese American.
I'm a simple, friendly, funny and spontaneous person. I love traveling, cooking, taking care of people, and being helpful. Building good memories with people means a lot to me.

I'm an adventurous person, enjoys being outdoors and spending time being active. I'm keen on learning about cultures and customs that are different than my own, and enjoy a deep conversation whether it be philosophical or spiritual. I'm not a city dweller by any means, and definitely believe that life is something to explore and experience firsthand.

So far, I've traveled to over 60 countries. Saw many different ways of life, worked with many different language speakers and tried lots of crazy things that I've never thought I would do.
It's always fun to meet and chat with people from different counties, culture and religions...
They all melt my heart with theirs kindness, wisdom ,talent, humor...
They all showed me how to care and love friends from the heart, not from mood or need.
It makes me feel how interesting this world is, how many wonderful beautiful people in the world, and how small I am.

I've learned the only certain thing is uncertainty.
I've learned life is a gift. However life is so short and so fragile. So, live it ! We are seeking adventure not to impress anyone ,but we want to grab life and suck up experiences while we are on this earth. Seeking success because we want to fulfill potential, not just because we want a bigger paycheck.

I'm so excited to meet you, build good memories with you. Learn from each other. Share stories to each other. The most important thing is - cook and try all delicious food together ! :)
