Interested in math and languages! Born and raised in China, study in Canada next to the beautiful Lake Ontario.
The most wanted to visit countries are Argentina & Armenia! It's not because they both start with AR(tho that is initial for my dear professor), but for love & hatred!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.Seen Aurora in Yellowknife, Canada, Helsinki, Finland & Iceland!!!(don't ask me how that cloud stopped me from seeing it in Norway _(:з」∠)_)
2.Bungee ✔️ Diving ✔️ Surfing✔️ Waterfall climbing✔️ these are the most popular things mentioned here in CS? Hmm, and will try skydiving when I have enough money...
3. Been to Tibetan Plateau for at least four times, I say at least four times here as somehow I never experience high altitude reaction... Four times is count by most ppl around me are suffering from that and I realize we are over 3500m from sea level... 😅
4. Once been told by a border check officer that “You travel a lot!!!” I take it as a high praise!
5. Survived in Crimea with only 16 rubles, no passort & expired immigration card for 10 days......
