ABOUT ME

Hi everyone,
My name is Iris, I am from Hongkong. I was a hard-working woman lived in fast speed life in HongKong two years ago. Until one day, I saw myself in the mirror with no smiley face, I realized I need to change my life. I used to be a super positive person and everybody love my smile. I came to the USA as an exchange student for my MBA program, I fall in love with the slow speed life in the MidWest, and the life and work balance is what I dream of. and then I transferred from Hong Kong to the USA to complete my program. After graduated, I found a job in Chicago, now I am living in Chicago, start my new life.

I love traveling, whenever have a chance, I will buy a ticket and start a simple journey.Because travel can balance my life, change my view of thinking, make my knowledge world become wider and wider!
