What are your top three travel destinations?

Other than my hometown: Istanbul, Singapore (for F1 Race), Naxos

What’s the most important part of your morning routine?

Morning jogs + a cup of ice americano, it must be iced no matter what the weather is like outside.

If you had millions to donate, which cause would you choose to share it with?

Open Architecture Collaborative, Design for the Other 90% and Bryan Bell’s books were my inspirations during my undergraduate studies, and I always have the heart for design-based NGOs.

Where do you feel most at home?

No matter how long since I have left the city, Taipei is still feeling the most at home to me. There is a certain nostalgia whenever I visit my friends there. Even though the streets are still the same, things are changed just small enough to give you something new every time I go back.

Have you ever gotten lost on purpose?

All the time whenever I’m new to a city! It’s fun to have some accidental discoveries while in the process of getting lost on purpose.
