About Me

Solo traveler who thinks the best memories from any trip come from talking to strangers, learning something new, and finding unexpected surprises.

(though I can also be kind of quiet sometimes)

Second favorite thing to do when traveling: browsing markets (even supermarkets!)

Love to hear stories from travelers and locals, also happy to share some of my own travel stories, from getting lost on the Great Wall of China to getting questioned by the police for drinking a beer in an empty field in Uzbekistan...

Always travel with my camera, looking to capture unique moments, though I think I need some more practice…

Warning: I’m probably going to ask you to take some touristy pictures of me ;-p Though I’ll be happy to return the favor and take some good portraits for you too!

Interests

biking, cooking, karaoke (well, sometimes…), trying weird foods, learning languages, exploring new places

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to buy a pair of shoelaces in Rome. I couldn't speak Italian, nobody in the store could speak English, so we spoke in Chinese!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share everything I've picked up about living in and enjoying Beijing (or any of the other places I've been)
