兴趣: After moving to Hawaii 夏威夷 at 15 years old, I discovered big waves and surfing 冲浪 and wanted to become a professional surfer. I soon became a lifeguard at a famous surfing beach, and my surfing improved enough to compete internationally at the armature level. Intercultural experiences came with traveling to find the best waves, and I learned new languages and made new friends in 50 countries. I went on to start an international surf school where I taught water safety and surf skills to hundreds of people including movie stars and other celebrities. My passion for traveling, learning, and meeting new people led me to the University of Hawaii's Chinese culture program at Peking University 北京大学, where I lived and studied Chinese Philosophy 中国哲学.
