About Me

Currently studying Applied Linguistics in Edinburgh! Love it!
Always curious and willing to learn, especially something about botany and astronomy)).
Energetic to try and good at hanging out for all days without rest.
Open-minded, seldom judge people from high moral ground.
Had been exchange students to Russia and Taiwan. During those period, I got to know different culture deeply and form more perspectives to view life and making friend.
好奇且好學。中山大学大四学生,大三上于俄罗斯圣彼得堡交换,大三下于台湾东海大学交换。
今年一月份的時候一個人通過couchsurfing在俄羅斯旅行了一個月,在台湾除了尝试沙发客,还开启了搭便车的旅行方式。認識到很多當地的朋友,而且可以用不同的的視角認識每個城市。
喜歡看星星和認識植物動物。以前喜歡登山攀岩這種戶外運動,現在喜歡比較平和的玩耍。
以後想學語言學,所以在努力地學習中。
