I'm from Beijing, China, recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in classical music. Currently I’m working in humanitarian aid in Afghanistan.

Half Korean half Chinese, born and raised in China with my mother's family from North Korea.

I play the solo flute, but sometimes I play the piccolo in the orchestra. I'm always talking if I feel like to talk so hopefully I won't annoy you too much haha. And I was always laughing or there's always a big smile on my face (I looked like a serial killer when I don’t smile) in my past 26 years life . Hope I can bring you some laughters too.

Ohhhh did I mention that in a huge fan of documentaries and contemporary art?

I’m also a certified yoga teacher (mainly vinyasa flow, Ashtanga and yin) and breathwork instructor, feel free to do some yoga together with me! Recently I've been exploring a new method of music and dance meditation.

I am flexitarian, which means I have different diet everyday depends on my mood (basically I eat whatever I feel like to eat 😂). But I’m probably the only Asian you’ve ever know who doesn’t eat rice. (I do eat sushi and rice noodles though) Why? Only because I don’t like the texture that much.

Top 3 dishes: Chinese dumplings, Thai green curry, Spaghetti Cabonara. I make Thai curry pasta almost everyday at home ;)

Movie top 10 of all time:
1. Mr. Nobody
2. Victoria (the German one)
3. The Story of Yonosuke
4. Before sunrise/sunset/midnight
5. Lola Rennt
6. About Time
7. Interstellar
8. Seven psychopaths
9. Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?
10. All Harry Potters

I read mostly non-fictions. No favorite book yet, trying to discover some more. Trying my best to read some German non-fictions lately but my German is really not there yet.😭

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went backpacking Thailand with my mum and that’s pretty dope (though we had fight EVERY SINGLE DAY lmao).

I started volunteering for festivals since I was 15, by the age of 18 I started traveling solo. Never had a gap year, still in school, and will stay in school for another couple years.

I once ate four flight meals on the flight with five glasses of wine. Yum. (I wasn’t even asking the fourth one but they just brought it to me, probably I looked starving 😂).

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied flute for my whole life until I broke my arm during an accident when I was travelling in Malta. Later on, I studied gender studies and humanitarian action, which led me to what I am working today,

Working hard on my German, C1 with reading and B1 with speaking. Currently studying French, hope to reach C1 before 2025.
I used to speak some Italian but forgot all of them, and I understand a bit of Arabic! I learned Dutch for a week, it’s probably the easiest language in the world!

I'll share you lots of my stories both from my travels and from my life in Beijing and other cities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe a private flute concert! I could share you my story and listen to yours. Exchanging different cultures and stories is one of the best things in the world!
