📍currently living in Sweden

Hi there, I’m Shuo, a full-time engineer, part-time traveler and cook. Because of my job I travel and move around a lot, but it’s always the people I met brings me the most beautiful memories of a place.

I’m from a small city in south China called Nanchang, but usually I introduce it as “near Shanghai”. It’s small not by population or geographical area, but it’s less known by people even in China. Although we have the best rice noodles not comparable to anywhere else and it’s my comfort food whenever I’m sad or miss home.

Then I spent 3 years in the spiciest city, Chongqing, or the biggest city in the world, where not only did I develop a strong stomach to tolerate all the hotpot and red-oil noodles, but also a love for nature.. climbing, and walking a lot. During weekends I like to get out of the city and into nature.

I enjoy many things like caves, mountains, sitting alone in the forest, eating pickles... ok, and some more normal things too, like hanging out with friends, laughing, crying, screaming...

After graduation I start to like cooking a lot, because i finally have a decent kitchen. I find peace during food preparation or just by listening to the sizzling sound and boiling sound, it’s a new meditation for me :)
But I only cook good food when in good mood :)

One of my dreams is to retire early and open a home restaurant where I can share the joy to people I like by food.
But until then still an engineer for now to earn money for silly bills and travel!

As I consider myself to be interculturally interested and open-minded, combined with a strong feeling of wanderlust, I joined CS.
