Hobbies
My biggest hobby and passion is traveling. I have lived in 3 different countries (the U.S., China, and Thailand) and consider all 3 of them my home. I have also traveled to many countries in Asia, such as Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia. I'm hoping that I'll be able to explore some countries in Central or South America next so I can use my Spanish skills! Right now I am getting my Master's degree in Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language, which means that I'm very interested in learning new languages. Right now, I can say that I speak 3 or 4 languages: English (native); Spanish (high-intermediate); Chinese (high-intermediate); and Thai (beginner). Whenever I have time, I try to brush up on my Spanish and Chinese. I love both languages and have used them for many years in my daily life and in my travels to talk with people from around the world. I want to continue to get better at Spanish and Chinese until I can do almost anything in those languages. When I'm not studying or teaching/tutoring, I love to be outdoors and go on adventures in nature. My favorite outdoor activities are kayaking and trekking, but I want to get better at rock climbing too. I'm also very creative, so I love to do art and crafting projects. I was an actress in theater for all four years in high school. I also love music and love to sing, especially karaoke!
