I'm a second year student in the University of California Santa Cruz. I'm originally from China but I have been living in New York and California for years.

I have never visited any other countries beside the U.S. and China until the summer of 2015. During which I backpacked around 5 European countries (Iceland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy) for one month. It was a life changing experience for me!

I take photos a lot and share them on my instagram account mostly (@theianwoo). I also have a youtube channel where I post all my vlogs (channel name: Candid Collective)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came to the U.S. alone when I was 16. I learned 80% of my English though watching Hollywood movies. According to most people, my English is almost indistinguishable from Americans.
