CURRENT MISSION

To be a great writer. And to meet interesting, talented people who are imaginative and thoughtful.

ABOUT ME

I like eating and learning about people and their culture and ideas. I'm active, enjoying sport and going out, whether it's a nice cafe, pub or club. I'm British-Chinese and a freelance journalist with great enthusiasm for new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life in order to experience things, for new encounters, for mountains and wilderness. I love nature and really connecting with people. I am open-minded and adventurous.
