Description
Hey there! I’m Lilian—a Chinese American who grew up in both China and California, now making NYC my home. I’m all about creativity, adventure, and animals (shoutout to my border collie and ginger cat!). Whether it’s photography, DIY project, or exploring the great outdoors, I’m always up for something new.
Currently, I’m a clinical psychology grad student and a remote crisis counselor. I studied psychology and photography during undergrad, and my love for storytelling and human connections runs deep. This summer, I’ll be off on a big adventure—traveling, exploring, and growing along the way!
I speak Chinese and English fluently, and after two years of studying Japanese, I can hold a simple conversation (頑張ります！). Having lived in both China and the U.S. for about a decade each, I love experiencing different cultures and seeing the world from fresh perspectives.
When I travel, you’ll find me hiking, skiing, or running through nature, getting lost in museums, or wandering through historical sites. Every place has a story to tell, and I can’t wait to learn more about the world—and myself—through these experiences.
Excited to meet like-minded people, share stories, and embrace the beauty of different cultures. Let’s make some unforgettable memories! 🌍✨
