About Me

CURRENT MISSION

(1) Trying to explore the world...one city at a time and connect with locals
(2) Learn how different cultures keeps their family healthy (especially with traditional home cooking and exercises)

ABOUT ME

I like nature but I can only survive 2-3 days of camping. Prefers urban living but also enjoy weekend hikes, cycling and outdoor adventures. Intrigued by human physiology, behavioral economics, motivational psychology, traditional medicine and acupuncture. I am also fond of music that has a good blend of rhythm, melody and dynamics.

Fascinated by wines, soups and spices and trying to learn more about it. Absolutely love eating and watching (helping) people cook, traveling, and meeting people.
