About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to graduate from my degree and become unemployed.

ABOUT ME

I don't really write much, but I'll try to write more about myself here. I was born in Sydney, and raised in Hong Kong, but I have lived in different states (Idaho, Washington, and California) in America for school. I'll call Washington as my second home, as it's the place where I have friends that I call them family, also a place that has great urban architecture and gorgy nature elements. Even though I was born in Sydney, I barely visit the place any more, I hope to go back, to live, and to know more about my birth country.

I study Sociology in the angel city- Los Angeles, and came to Copenhagen for a semester long exchange program in August. I don't really know what I'm gonna do with sociology in future, but I feel like there are nowhere I'm going to learn and encounter those materials after I graduated from college. Someday I'll make a living that allows me to stay in different cities for each year, hopefully.

My current dream places to go are: Seven Sisters of England, the Pink beach of the Bahamas, Brazil and more of south America.

You'll know me until you meet me:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like comedy and chick flicks haha

Books: I tried to read books, but I have too many readings from my major, so I would choose not to read if I have free time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Colombia alone last Christmas, I stayed for a month and worked with kids in the orphanage, I'm a non-Spanish speaker, but I survived and it was quite an eye-opening experience to be in a different part of the world.

I hiked up Mount Fuji this SUMMERRR WUT WUTTT! im not athletic, so hiking for ten hours straight in a day was hard for me, but I MADE IT:D

Backpacked alone in October 2014. I went to the following cities: Italy(Pisa, Cinque Terre), France(Nice, Menton, Strasbourg and Paris), Switzerland(Murren, Wengen, Zermatt and Zurich), England(london). One highlight of the trip was that I hiked up alone in the dark to get to my hostel in Cinque Terre(was pretty terrifying too). Another one was that I was stranded in Zurich train station because of the German train strike, which I couldn't get back to Copenhagen before school starts, so I booked a flight to London, I mean I couldn't attend my classes on time anyways, might as well travel longer:).
