About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find something to be addicted to.

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm a college student with insatiable curiosity. I currently live in Singaporea, city-state in the heart of Asia, and has been living here for 8 years. My family is from Sichuan, China, famed for being the home to panda, the Sichuan Cuisine (most famous for: hotpot!) and a number of the world's most stunning(to my opinion:) natural sights. I love traveling and volunteering, and have managed a 3500-member NGO in China that organizes international volunteer projects (it's called AIESEC). I have also participated in conference at UN headquarter and took part in the collaboration with UN to promote Sustainable Development Goals in China.

PHILOSOPHY

On a scale of 0-10 for most liberal to most conservative, I'm a -1.
