About Me

CURRENT MISSION

PhD in progress, UK
Connecting the world with arts and exploring the unknowns as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, warm-hearted and very out-going person.

Arts have always been a passion of mine. I began to study classical music when I was four years old and developed strong interest in fine arts 4 years ago. I'm working and studying in the field of performing arts (theatre, music, opera, ballet, musical…).

I want to experience different cultures and have a different life. I'm curious about anything new and still exploring the wonderful world and better myself.

I fell in love with solo trip since I travelled around in China for 67 days in 2012 before I moved to the UK. I studied in Music Management (MA) at The University of Sheffield and had the best year of my life so far. It was hard to say goodbye to my Sheffield, however, I decided to start a new life in London. Found my dream job there and gained adventurous experience.

I'm working in Shanghai at the moment. It's cool to be home after two years away. Hope to host as much as I can and explore Asia as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to live a life that's courageous, you've got to stretch, and to stretch means: when I can't, I must. Every time you say,"I can't do it," you're going to immediately say,"I must do it." You know it in your heart of hearts that if you do it you're going to grow, you're going to be a better person. If you want a fulfilled life, you've got to step up.

Be yourself, but be your best self.

Never say never.
