ABOUT ME

I am from San Francisco, and so far I still think it is the best city in the world, though I am waiting to be proven otherwise ;) I am currently a student at American University in Washington DC studying International Environmental Sustainability and Dance. Half of my family is from China, and I go visit often. I love anything to do with adventures and learning something new. I like to garden, cook, and eat, and know where my food comes from. Love to walk around streets or trails that I have not explored yet.

PHILOSOPHY

“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs
