My name is Jessica Zhong and I'm an international student from China. I go to Charlotte Country Day School in Charlotte, NC. I know Charlotte fairly well since I've been here for 2 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical music: Mozart's and Tchaikovsky's are my favorite (best study & relaxing music ever) I love country, pop, and jazz as well (Taylor Swift & Skylar Grey & Ellie Goulding).
Movies: I'm into all good sports, fantasy, and drama movies (too many to count lol).
Books: I love biographies. Just finished Margot Fonteyn's bio by Meredith Daneman. For me, reading biographies is probably the best way to know a person whom I'll probably never meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know the best places for adventure in Charlotte, be it a gorgeous mountain to hike, or simply a Barbecue place to get indulged.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music is definitely one thing I can share. I've been playing the piano for a good 15 years and I enjoy composing my own pieces. I play the guitar as well and sing with it. If by chance you feel like doing A Capella or orchestra then definitely count me in. Also I'm a good fitness/tennis buddy. And if you're a fan of Chinese food then I'm definitely the right person bc I have tons of recipes for Chinese food.
