Description

Originally from Taiwan, I lived in London for four years before moving to Berlin in 2017. As time flies for the past seven years, I've come to realise the urban life trap and started searching for opportunities for alternatives.

With a great passion for hands-on work, I've enjoyed my double identities in both the arts and gastronomy sectors for the past years. With my educational background in Theatre design, I do freelance work on costumes, sets and sculptures for visual artists amongst some small projects on renovation. Nonetheless, I found my second passion in cooking and have been working in restaurants and catering business for the past few years, which I find meditative to balance the stress from the sometimes toxic art industry.

I started travelling ever since I was young and have always been drawn to the exploration of the world as well as connection with others and learning from our differences. With platforms like Couchsurfing and Workaway, I've had many opportunities for different life experiences, gardening in the forest, volunteering in animal shelters, building small houses, and so on. Most of the time I am a solo traveller, but I always enjoy the moments that can be shared with others. It took me a while to realise this is more of a journey to my self-discovery, and I aspire to more adventures in the future.
