A bit about me

She makes a decent Mac n Cheese.

– Alex’s Mother

Born in Edinburgh; grew up in China. Graduated from Cambridge University in Chinese Studies in 2016 and have just completed my MSc at the University of Edinburgh in Chinese Society and Culture.

I am pretty much interested in all things – which will be demonstrated by my rather eclectic blog topics(!) But my main interest lies in China and more broadly, East Asia. This website is really just a way of putting all my interests in one place – a scrapbook of ideas, thoughts, and observations.

As well as the academic side of things, I also have a hearty passion for all things that mid-20-year-old girls love: netflix, sweet potatoes, puffer jackets, eating too much and complaining about it – and of course – brunch.

(Quick side note: You’ll find travel-related pieces on “Ambles” and more academic writings on “Rambles”.)

Wannabe writer, explorer, owner of lots of Corgis.
