CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and meet new people. I was born in Shanghai, China. Then lived in Berlin, Germany for 2 years, before moving to Hawaii and living there fore 10 years. I am studying at a liberal arts college in Maine (which is a state right underneath Canada on the Northeastern coast of US). I am very easy going and pretty independent and can carry my weight in conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe no judgment is validated unless there are experiences to validate them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing of my life is prob this whole year, where I am bouncing around, seeing different places.

Teach, Learn, Share

Because it's hard to say exactly where I call home is or what my definition of home is, I believe there's no boundaries in experiences, only limitations on your perception. And I find CS to be a wonderful network for me to broaden my terms on what home and warmth is. I feel that one cannot say or judge something too quickly without having the experience to back their words.
