Small city, bright lights. Macau, where I grew up, is the densest city in the world with 700k people in just 30 square kilometers. The physical smallness of this city sparked my passion for travel and exploration, and I am fortunate to have parents who took me around the world in my youth.

I study and live now in Singapore, and prepare to do my masters degree in Switzerland and to work in Europe.

My social circle is like a zoo. I enjoy spending time with empathetic people from everywhere around the world, to share stories and lessons learned. University life in NTU has really allowed me to reach a larger and more diverse audience.

Interests

One of my favorite things in university is to host brunches or dinners where everybody gets to cook and eat together. It is a very social experience that anybody can be a part of, regardless of culinary expertise.

I am a non-aspiring YouTuber, in that I made funny gaming videos for a small, personal audience. Documentary style filming has captured my interest recently, particularly after watching a web series called Borders. I am also interested in the cinematic language of film.

Accents are the phonic manifestations of cultural personality. I grew up with a diverse anglophone school environment and acquired British, American, and Australian accents early on. My interest in accents was recently resurfaced by messing around with my francophone friends, and internet memes of Uganda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summit of Mt Kinabalu. The power of the mountain is awesome. Side of the mountain, rock on the right and void on the left. Five hundred meters of pure granite, not a bush in sight. It is the dead of predawn, frigid wind howls through the valley and slices through your skin. And then there is the light, dark gold spilling on beautiful azure, growing and growing until the first ray of sun slices through the clouds, then the second, and the third peaking just over the ridge and that's it- the warmth of the sun on your face. Sunrise.

Languages! Do you want to learn some Mandarin or Cantonese? Do you speak an uncommon tongue? What are your experiences with hitchhiking? I would love to know.
