About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in a healthier lifestyle

PHILOSOPHY

Always be brave to find new adventures. This world is so full of surprises and mysteries that you'd have to be really dumb to just stay at one place for your whole life.

Interests

I love reading, traveling, making money, working out, listening to music, learning English and other languages, painting, watching movies, hanging out with friends(watching a movie, talking about the movie and other stuff, cooking together and then eating, karaoke etc.), eating and cooking, yoga, hiking, ride a bike

I'm always enchanted by the great colorful world around me, so anything new to me(landscapes, cultures, people and their thoughts, food etc.) would certainly catch my most attention.

I'm also interested in mysterious things, like supernatural stuff! I wouldn't say I believe any of those anymore since I haven't experienced or heard of any real proof. But I'm still interested.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you standard Mandarin, including all the necessary swear words that you might need to know (let's face it,they won't be found from any Chinese dictionary, which is really absurd to me,because people do use them).

I would love to learn how to make food from different places!

Anything that I don't know yet and I'm interested in, I wouldn't hesitate a bit to learn from anyone.
