CURRENT MISSION

look at the world with curious eyes, trying to balance too many interests, be close to nature but also remain a free thinker!

ABOUT ME

I'm a open-minded idealist who believes that everyone in the world should be friends with each other, and with nature and creatures around us. I love interacting with people, whose experiences often fascinate me.
I try to stay close to nature and be grateful in life.
I'm also a very critical thinker.
I have too many interests which makes it hard to me to choose a major, or a career, or anything, but still, I studied International Development and am interested in Anthropology and History.
My family and friends are really important to me.
I'm often vegetarian.
I like music, art, good books, things that makes you think but also moves you emotionally.
I'm understanding and easygoing,I have friends that range from 5-year-old to 60-year-old,although most of my friends are older than me,kids always give me the biggest enlightenment.
I'm friendly and outgoing most of the time, but I can fall into an emotional trap easily because of weather or other little things, good is that these things cheer me up easily too.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life so I can love, learn and contribute.
I think the connections between people hold the world together, and the basic emotions: love, attachment and solidarity are fundamental in humanity.
I think life has unlimited possibilities and I never want to stop learning. I try to learn more about my interests and develop more interests in the meantime.
I think one does not only live for oneself, but also for others, therefore volunteering, thinking about others, protecting the environment are really important.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think my experiences of living in China, US and Germany gave me an relatively objective perspective on culture and society.I know how to cook some good Chinese dishes. I can definitely offer help in Chinese and English language, I'm hoping to learn more German! Other languages I want to learn include Tibetan, French and Spanish. I'm learning guitar. And I'm interested in learning anything from art history to geology.
