ABOUT ME

A laid back and easily amused person, who loves anything creative.

passion for traveling and traveling for passion. I enjoy wandering on the streets of foreign cities and engaging in interesting conversations with total strangers. I love being immersed with the locals when I travel rather than just hitting the top 10 attractions.

PHILOSOPHY

The three C’s in life: choices, chances, changes– You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In awe with the warm hospitality of the people i have met through my travels. The moments of people from different cultures and backgrounds sitting down and sharing a story, a laugh, a drink, a meal, or even a jam session.

Teach, Learn, Share

I fancy cooking. I'm into experimenting with different ingredients to come up with new combination of flavors. I'd love to collaborate with people who share this passion. I believe through food, we can teach, learn, and share with each other.

Another passion of mine is to take pictures of the city and people. If you'd like to go on a photography stroll in NYC, let me know. Me and my d-60 are down.

Every language is fascinating. I would love to trade my English and Mandarin with whatever languages you speak. my goal is to learn to at least say thank you in every language.
