I am an international student who has recently completed my studies in New Zealand and am now preparing to pursue a Ph.D. in Europe. My academic focus is Tourism Management, a field I chose out of my deep love for travel. I believe traveling enriches life in ways that cannot be measured by money—it adds priceless depth and perspective to my experiences.

I am Chinese, but I have lived in multiple countries over the years: one year in Australia, four years in the Philippines, three in New Zealand, and soon four to five more years in Europe. I truly enjoy this ever-changing lifestyle—it constantly exposes me to new experiences and allows me to grow through different cultures.

I am also a huge Disney enthusiast. In fact, I was part of the opening team at Shanghai Disney Resort, an experience I am deeply grateful for. It gave me a behind-the-scenes understanding of how a Disney park comes to life.

I am easy to get along with and value the traditional Chinese virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. I strive to be a polite, independent, and accomplished individual, and I hope to be seen as a kind and interesting friend.
