ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance translator based in Taipei. I also have another job which requires me to travel a lot, sometimes 2 times a week to places like Canada, Switzerland, China, all over the US and more!

PHILOSOPHY

My belief is that we live life in order to enjoy it, so I try to enjoy the most out of what life gives me, and it's given me a lot!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This might sound silly, but the most amazing thing I have seen is a rainbow. Growing up in the city, I had only seen them in the distance before. When I visited Salt Lake City, I saw one up close, a really big, clear one and it's probably the most beautiful natural sight I have seen to date.
