Interests

I love reading, cooking, and baking. I like jogging, hiking, and watching movies. I live to travel. I hope to try scuba diving and sky-diving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching films. Lately I'm trying to watch more Chinese language films.

I do like TV from time to time. My favorite shows are Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Homeland. I do try to watch some Chinese dramas as well, but they are pretty cheesy!

I am open to most any music and don't really play favorites.

Books. . . I love them! My favorite novels are usually about dystopias, the post-apocalyptic world, or India. These days I'm revisiting childhood classics but am reading them in Chinese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Taj Mahal. India in general. I want to go back. . . .

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little about cooking (some Chinese and western food) or baking, but nothing too extravagant. Currently, my greatest skill is probably helping people with English--so if it's not your first language, I might be of assistance there.
