Young and curious! Happy, Silly, Open minded, cultural Anthropologist, Montessori teacher!

Striving to be open minded, learning new things, taking it day by day, living in the moments and laughing till my stomach hurts. Easy to get along, go with the flow.

Adventurous soul, constantly wandering in life and looking for new places to travel to and immersing myself in.

Anthropology major and International Studies minor, Focusing on Indigenous cultures in Central and South America, with an emphasis on Human Rights and immigration rights.

Love studying cultures and languages, currently learning Portuguese.
Interested in learning about cultural practices, natural medicine, and traditions of Southeast Asian and Latin cultures.

I have passion for people, I believe and try to see the good in everyone and everything. I love to uplift people and go the extra miles for my friends. Life is too short to waste it being mad or hold a grudge. Live life on the edge, try new things, be daring ( but within reasons of course ), if you dont have anything good to say, dont say it at all.

Future goals: Open an orphanage/school someday, Have an international Cafe.

Grew up in South China, raised in Oregon. I love to meet people that can give honestly and be straight up with others. No need for sugarcoating. I like to understand where people come from and really try to put myself in their shoes to fully understand. I strive to live an Honest, loving, kind life and do at least one act of kindness in a day.

The other thing about me, I am definitely a Foodie :) The best thing about traveling is the food and people.

Genuine people get at me! Lets make this world a better place, one day at a time!

I hope we can be friends :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy documentaries and horror films :) I know they are crazy different but we have to balance ;)

I enjoy reading memoirs or anthropology related books about culture, history and traditions.

I appreciate music of all sorts but prefer the more laid back and chill music, not a fan of screaming rock (it just hurts my head)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? I feel like there is more than that...better to share more in person. :)

But one time, I raised over $500 USD when I was in high school from selling homemade food to buy school supplies for the kids in the villages of my Chinese hometown. :) Its such a good feeling to give.

Spread that happiness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages! :)

I can make you healthy whole foods and even teach you how to make authentic Chinese, Mexican, Brazilian food all made with whole natural ingredients. I can offer to help you with organization, whether is your home, kitchen or bathrooms, I love organizing.
