CURRENT MISSION

Stay crazy, dream wild

ABOUT ME

I'm now a freelance writer/journalist/translator based in Brussels while pursuing a master's degree in journalism and media at VUB. Before moving to Belgium in 2015, I worked as a dentist in Taipei, Taiwan.

I like to experience new things. I've worked as a magazine editor, a waitress/bartender, a YH front desk in Daocheng, China, a guide at Ostrale (a modern art exhibition in Dresden, Germany), a rides operator in Minnesota and a home tutor. For me, staying in a foreign place is always way much easier than staying in one place forever.

For the rest of my story, let's meet and talk about it with some beer and wine :)

PHILOSOPHY

No plan is the best plan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always the best part of the memory about visiting a place.

Centres d'intérêt

Watching films on a cozy bed, writing on rainy days, taking pictures when the light touches me, starting a day with beautiful folk music, reading on the grass, meeting gorgeous old friends and amazing new people, messing around the whole day
