About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Feeling my way around the world

ABOUT ME

I am a short Asian who enjoys assimilating various cultures and languages. I grew up in the States but moved to Beijing during high school, and that is where home is for me. I'm currently an NYU student, and just spent a year abroad in London and a summer abroad in Madrid. I'm generally a very happy, easy-going person who gets along with all types of people, and I love making friends from all over the world. I enjoy sharing passions and experiences, and I think the most important part of traveling and getting to know a different place is the people!

PHILOSOPHY

Smiling on the outside makes me happier on the inside.
