ABOUT ME

Hello! When I was in college, I studied abroad in the Netherlands and backpacked/couchsurfed around Europe, which turned out to be the best experience of my life so far. I want to experience that again so this summer, I'll be taking a break from my career to travel around South America for the first time. I'm hoping my time in South America will be even better!

PHILOSOPHY

On traveling: "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."€- Lao Tzu

On learning: "Ten years from now you'll be the same person except for the books you read and the people you meet."- Anonymous

On life: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't- you're right."- Henry Ford

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Even though I'm from a very big city, Los Angeles, I ironically feel like I've been living in a bubble all my life. I want to meet new people outside of the US and experience other cultures.

In return, I can provide insight as to what America is like. I'm also Taiwanese so I can provide insight into Chinese food, language, and culture as well.
