About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

How to say...People is complicated. I think my Asia background gave me modesty, deligent and perseverance. Definitely that's not all. Besides, I'm happy, curious and open-minded.
I like exploring the world, by any way, traveling,reading,moives,talking with people from different places...I am happy I still have this curiosity and I believe this world is far more beautiful than I can expect.Yep,I'm a incurable optimist.(I know sometimes life should be a little tough)
I'm a good listener as well as a good speaker. I like sharing, exchaging stories with people. The world is amazing, sometimes, personal experience is not enough. I want to see more.
I am always happy, or on the way try to be happy.

PHILOSOPHY

To be a realistic dreamer. Live my life, enjoy my days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trip to India. Incredible place and amazing trip, changed me a lot.Very happy that I made the dicision to go there.
In Sri Lanka, saw the whales, they are beautiful!!
Everything trip I met new people, this is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I am a Mandarin teacher,maybe the most thing I can professionally teach is Chinese. Have to say, Chinese is not easy to learn, but during your learning, you will never feel boring. And I think it's cool to speak some Chinese, even just several easy sentences, you know you are using the same language with 1.3 billion people in the world! And if you want to find a Chinese teacher, I would be the best choice!haha...
For me, many thing want to learn, new language, any is okay. Musical instrument, how about guitar? Sports,want to try diving or surfing.
Cook,(I mean the real good food)Chinese cuisine is famous, I can't waste it!
