I am a university fellow at New York University in Shanghai. I studied political science with a minor in math and computer science. So we can chat about a range of topics related to technology, current events, and more! I have lived in New York, Washington DC, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, Budapest, and now in Shanghai. In each of these places I fell in love with a range of things. For instance, in Abu Dhabi, I started loving oud colognes.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on a boat trip up the Amazon river with local people. Literally no one spoke English on the boat.
I also flew on the trapeze once like circus performers: http://bit.ly/theflyingtrapeze .
