About Me

Hello people here is an atypical asian girl. I’m always energetic and expecting interesting/bizarre conversations, immersing into indigenous culture, but being quiet also makes me feel comfortable and safe.

I major in Law and I’m an exchange student who spent the academic year 2017-18 in France. It was a crucial, mind blowing year in my life. Having visited some other European countries, I’m cordial to exchange views from firsthand experiences. I love post-modern art, love second-hand vintage stores, love both dressing and thinking bizarrely. Currently I study in LA, entertainment industry law, unfortunately I'm living with 3 other girls in one tiny little small apartment, I could not host couch surfers this year, but always glad to hang out!

Cannot brook any delay of experiencing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: post rock, Arctic Monkeys, YMO, Jazz(Keith Jarrett), King Crimson, Cigarettes after Sex

Favorite American soap opera: nothing beats FRIENDS

I don't watch soap operas much, The Master of None and The Crown are among my favorite :D recently the end of the fucking world fascinates me pretty much

Books: I’m a staunch fan of non-fictions, like the memoirs of Patti Smith and Ian Buruma, A Tokyo Romance is really juicy. And Neil Postman has a lot to be discovered.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m deep into photography (actually like those random moments of street strangers)(consider myself a human observer (nnooooot pervert), could participate in those 4-min speed datings just for fun), carrying with me everywhere a digital Sony and an old-fashioned film camera Rollei 35. I can take portraits or interesting moments in life for you if you like
