Hello everyone, I'm Mike or Mikey. I was born in Taiwan but moved to Maryland in the US when I was 5 and stayed there for most of my life.

I love traveling and seeing all kinds of natural and historical sights. I'm fresh off a week-long trip to Rome and hope to see more of Europe (especially Italy) before the end of the year. I also enjoy scuba diving and language learning.
