About Me

I'm a 25-year-old Music Therapist, originally from Hong Kong but now staying in Melbourne, Australia. I became a CSer since in Normal, IL, USA where I stayed to study abroad. That was my first time to live alone and away from home. I ended up with many memories in USA that keep me going as a traveller.

My latest plan is to go to Alaska (I hope I can catch up the gorgeous northern lights but it may not be possible because I'm going in Summer) (Updated: checked! Amazing trip, but no aurora haha). I'd like to go to South America, Europe and Russia so much too, but I don't have the money right now. I wish I will be there some days.
