About Me

Hey I’m Paige, currently studying MA cultural sociology in university of Exeter in Devon, UK.
My major is accounting back to my bachelor. Maybe you’d find me a person in between idealism and utilitarian, being romantic and practical.
I’m also a amateur photographer. I shoot both film and digital. (Some of my works on IG @shudipaige) I’d love to take some portraits for you ;)
I’m a energetic traveler and have a bubble personality( especially after a cup of coffee) But when I’m not travelling, I’m nerdy and can be fairly quiet, so my other hobbies lie in books, movies and music.
For sports, I do meditation and yoga. But I also like swimming and walking.
Recently picking plants&fungi also peaks my interest...
I’m open to try anything new, and that’s part of the reason I love to travel. sometimes I make plans, sometimes I just go with my mind :D
I think I’m also a easy going and flexible person. So I’d love to follow your schedule and rules when i request to stay.
I’m really looking forward to have a nice conversation with new people :))) (one of my fav thing...)
Also I’d be more than happy to cook some Chinese food x

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate anything inspiring, aesthetic, intellectual or sentimental and personal. So I’m open to watch, read and listen to any kinds of genres as long as there’s certain point that peaks my interest.
Some of my favorite directors: Wang Jiawei, Hitchcock,Agnès Varda,Vincent Gallo, Lars von Trier,Yang Dechang, Bernardo Bertolucci, Hayao Miyazaki. I’m very into art film, horror, animation,comedy,classics and etc.
I’m interested in producing my own videos/films too. Currently learning something visual myself in spare time.
some of my favorite actors: James Stewart, Dustin Hoffman, Kate Winslet, Christina Ricci
For music, I often listen to punk, dream pop, rock, reggae, folk, techno, instrumental . It’s hard to say which genre is my favorite. It goes with my mood and feeling, especially when I’m weary I feel music is so powerfully,beautifully, comfortingly trembling my heart. I can play zither ( a traditional Chinese instrument)
For books, literature art and social science are the fields I read most. I believe good books give both sensual and intellectual pleasure.
The only book I carry is in search of time by Proust.
Otherwise I like to hang around in bookstore to check editions, feel the beauty of paper books and add unexpected good books on my list, but I usually prefer reading via kindle.
