Hello everybody, I’m Dami

On one hand I feel like I do not have much to say about myself, but on the other hand I feel like I can talk about myself for hours. Lets start at the very beginning…

I was born in New York City on November 5 of 1997 and a few months after I was born I was sent back to China to be raised by my grandparents. I lived in China in  the Fu Zhou province until I was approximately four or five years old. Thereafter, I returned to New York to start my education. Below is a picture of a night market near where my grandparents lived, where I often went to play at night with my cousins. 

Around the third grade, my parents decided to move to Clarksville, TN for business and we relocated there for about three years, before moving back to NYC again. Living in the south was really different compared to living in New York City, since everything was more spaced out and not within walking distance. Although I enjoyed my time in Clarksville, I think I’m more of a city person.

Before returning NYC, my family took a vacation back to China and it was my first trip back to China. During this trip I was reintroduced to my cousins and grandparents and it was one of the best vacations I ever had filled with excitement and adventure. Because of this trip I discovered my love for traveling and thus decided to major in international business in college. Since my first trip back I have only had one other trip back, but I definitely will make many more trips back. I am also really into listening to korean pop, watching korean variety shows and Thai soap operas, and reading manga which is why I also really want to go to Korea, Japan, and Thailand. I have no idea how I acquired these hobbies, but I’m really glad I did even though some may seem really out of place.

In addition to traveling I also enjoy working out and playing sports. I enjoy every sport that uses either a racket or paddle such as: tennis, ping pong, and badminton. I may not excel in these sports, but I have fun engaging in different sports. I also like playing volleyball and basketball. I’m always looking for people to play sports and workout with.

Some people have also told me that I look really mean and unapproachable when I’m alone or when I’m listening to music, but I’m a pretty kind person and I don’t bite so please do not be afraid to talk to me! Lastly, I just want to tell you that I love food and two of my favorite things to eat are brownies and french fries!!!
