CURRENT MISSION

Hear people stories, then tell them further

ABOUT ME

I am a very quiet, considerate and polite woman, friendly but not that chatty. I am journalist, so interested in people and their stories, though have many of my own as well and don't mind sharing them if you're interested. My area of specialty is China. Always happy for a quiet talk over wine on travels and life in general.
