Hi! – I'm from Taiwan but grew up with an international/Third Culture Kid background in China. Now pursuing higher education outside of Boston. Excited to spend more time adventuring and creating connections.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can meditate and do yoga together, I can teach you some Chinese. I can help you take photos of your apartment or of you!

Will love to share conversation over tea, and learn any cooking.
