About Me

Cat mom, meditator, and world wanderer, global citizen with Chinese 🇨🇳nationality.

🌎On my first world trip since Sep 2023. Former corporate attorney, based in SH & BJ.
In South America since Jan 1, 2025—first time here and already impressed so much. Spanish? Still basic, but I’m learning.

🦋Love nature, animals, and working on loving humans too ;) & detachment.
Studied environmental law + human rights, was vegetarian for years - I don’t judge.
🏔️ Obsessed with mountains and the ocean, thus trekking and diving too. Above all, adventures! and foods.

Into arts, poems, and philosophy/spirituality.
Baby tango dancer 💃🏽. Master of doing nothing. Skilled at getting lost for no reason (but never on hikes).

🧘🏻‍♀️ In a 'parallel universe', I am on an inner journey of exploring the world within. I meditate daily before breakfast and dinner. Trying to live in the present with awareness as much as possible.

Morning person. Softness encrypted.
No alcohol, no🧋
