CURRENT MISSION

Be an adventurer of life

ABOUT ME

I live in Seattle and love to explore amazing things around the world. I travel to learn various lifestyles.

Born in China, grow up in two totally different cities, I came to the United States when I was 17. Lots of cultural shocks here and there but I've adapted that way of living.

Recently graduated from college with a computer science degree, I'm working on my own web startup. I love trying new things to stretch my creativity and gain knowledge in all interesting areas. I want to invent new things that can change people's lives, such as a website, a mobile app, or anything else I can make.

Aside from these interests, I love photography, filmmking, experimental arts, cycling, longboarding, video gaming (suck at them :) and more.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short so we should try things that won't make us regretful when we're old.
