Hiking | Painting | Traveling | Photography | Dancing | Cooking
On October 24, 2021, I completed 103 miles of the Appalachian Trail from GA to NC with ten weekends of section hikes.
Visited 15 National Parks in USA and Canada.
My favorite trails are the Plain of Six Glaciers in Banff National Park and the Iceberg Lake Trail in Glacial National Park.
Hiking
Painting
Born and raised by two artist parents, I was taught at an early age how to appreciate the beauty of our world.
During graduate school, I started to find my passion in nature and developed my visual language in abstract landscape painting with brush, ink, and gouache on rice paper.
Traveling
I love to submerge myself in different cultures, art, and local cuisines. Travel provides you with different perspectives of the world and makes you humble.
My favorite cities are Barcelona and Budapest.
Photography
Given the trail name Take-a-Picture, I never want to miss any memorable moment and beautiful scenery.
Dancing
Years of dancing have kept me involved with the Chinese community, and those ethnic costumes remind me of my cultural heritage.
Dancing is hard work - It demands years of practice off the stage for a few minutes on stage.
Cooking
To me, cooking is about creativity and spontaneity. It brings people together as the best way to enjoy the “here and now” of life.
