I was born in 1999 and grew up in Foster City California. My mother is a flight attendant, and my father is a writer for AFAR magazines. I vacationed in every Asian country (including North Korea) before my 14th birthday. Japan was my personal fav. trip. I wrote about those experiences for the student newspaper back in High School. I majored in Modern Geoeconomics at Wuhan University as an international student. I currently work as an interpreter for World Expeditions.
