I frequently travel between Canada and China.

In 2025, I completed a solo trip to South America, visiting Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lima, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and other destinations.
Art & Music
I received formal training in visual art, including watercolor, acrylic, oil painting, and charcoal, under the supervision of Georges Kalmetti. Now I enjoy experimenting with Stable Diffusion models and custom prompts to generate fictional characters.
I'm self-taught in piano, guitar, and ukulele, focusing mostly on contemporary popular music.
Recreation
Skateboarding is one of my favorite activities. I started with a penny board at 16 and have since explored popsicle, cruiser, longboard, and dance boards.
Recently, I've been into free climbing and bouldering. Currently climbing at 5.8 (YDS). I also enjoy cycling, ice skating, and swimming.
Anime
I follow anime and related media. They allow me to experience unique stories in an entirely different realm. Favorite anime: Steins;Gate, Hyouka, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
