Hello! My name is Kai, which means happiness in Mandarin. I love to immerse myself in a different culture and make friends there. I took a gap year to travel, volunteer, and research around the world. That really helps me break stereotypes of cultures. Partially due to my passion and experience for being a global citizen, I got a chance in interning United Nations Development Programme China to further explore the world from a development and sustainability perspective. Now, I am a student of Minerva Schools, still desperate to learn and to share.
