About me

Hiya! I’m Karen or 施智怡 (shi1 zhi4yi2).

I enjoy buying anything that’ll keep me organized, traveling to anyplace with a market, playing board games like riichi mahjong, watching chinese/taiwanese dramas, pretty handwriting on pretty stationery, eating fresh baked bread and literally surrounding myself with warm laundry. I try to learn something new every day. I’ll dabble in most anything, and have several half-started projects to prove it.

If you stumbled here from karensbetterthan.danielgempesaw.com, then you’ll know I’m also married to my best friend, Dan.

PS I’ll also talk about my journey in learning Chinese and include word breakdowns from my Pleco app. Here’s the meaning of my name, Zhiyi.
