Hi, my name is Shih Yu, just sounds like See You!
I know it’s hard to pronounce, you can also call me Ruby if you like. ( this is my Starbucks name)

I love yoga and meditation, plants and flowers, animals and birds, tea and coffee. I enjoy thrift shopping, but also thrill to try new things.

When I go to new places, I enjoy getting lost. I don’t really fancy tourist spots. I love hopping on a random bus to go nowhere, or having adventures in villages instead. For me, meeting local people, and through their eyes to know the local culture, is my only mission to complete in my trips.

Just moved to Auckland for my study. Really fresh and new here! I’m ready for exploration here :)
