Overview
About Me
Originally from Inner Mongolia. Moved to HK, now based in Istanbul & London.
INSEAD MBA - Sciences Po Paris - University of Hong Kong.
Banking —> Private Wealth Mgmt, Coaching and Filming (producing a documentary rn)
50 countries in 2023 like a whirlwind! Transcendental and transformational. Travel is life, fitness is life, learning is life, kindness is life 😘
I’d say I am an adventurous explorer and a seeker for inspiration. Personal growth wise, I am exploring on the spirituality end and always try to be more open-minded. I’m curious about humanity and psychology
I am a big fan of sports - mountaineer, jogging, workout, tennis, cycling. Not super good with water but always trying.
I also try to be curious on a lot more other dimensions - music is life, classical / jazz / rock / bossa nova. I was a pub singer before. Love strategy games / politics / geography / history / intellectual discussion / funny stories / small pleasures in real life. I’ve mostly received the comment as a cheerful person always wearing a big smile ;) always appreciate the beauty in life and try not to take things for granted
I love mountains (been to Everest Base Camp & Kilimanjaro, aiming at Acunchuagua for next)
I am specifically interested in Middle East and Africa. Several stops before I completed the footprint in ME (Saudi & Yemen). My next mission is to cross through Africa from north to south (Egypt - Sudan - Ethiopia - Kenya - Uganda - Rwanda - DRC - Zambia - Mozambique - Zimbabwe - South Africa)
I believe the power of communication. Honesty never hurts. Always up to share while listening is a pleasure too ;)
