ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded and social creature who loves to have fun and new experiences! I have a child-like curiosity guided by the true wisdom of the Chinese in me. A talker and a listener. A devout artist. A quick-minded specimen, I make a great partner for fun-having, city going, and nature-loving. I'll stop to appreciate the simple things in life, as well as chase down those adventures that make the day worth seizing. I thrive in community-oriented situations and am always meeting new people! I like sharing food and stories, exchange life philosophies, and creating new avenues and niches in modern culture!

PHILOSOPHY

Every day, a new sun rises. (Old Chinese saying)

Interests

I am into all things bikes! Also, I LOVE music, all things music and especially folksy sounds. I also love photography, hiking, playing guitar, local and organic farming, social and environmental activism (Food Not Bombs!), Farmers Markets, bookstores, coffee shop culture, museums, and playing guitar. I like to spend my time writing and making art, ex: stenciling, sewing and crafting, writing letters and poetry, and am currently learning the different Adobe Creative series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I freed my spirit from a chain-locked prison of a home in suburban California and hit the city with nothing but $70 and a guitar!
