Hello,

fellow travelers!

My name is Tianyi (pronounced TIEN-YEE). I was born and raised in Beijing, China and currently work in the US. My love for travel was kindled ever since my first overseas trip to Egypt at the age of 9, where my family and I took a week-long cruise up the river Nile, visited temples and museums, and listened to our local tour guide telling the tales of the Great Pyramid, all the while nervously handing out medicated oils in lieu of paper money for access to public bathrooms.

Professionally, I am a biostatistician working at a pharmaceutical company just outside the city of Philadelphia. Besides helping our company’s drugs get approved, I am also deeply interested in real estate investment. A dream of mine is starting my own data-driven real estate brokerage!

Outside of work and travels, I love reading, running, good food, coffee, listening to all sorts of podcasts, and playing games that involve a bit of strategies or logical deduction. I have an adorable cat named Wrigley.

This website contains my travel blogs as well as some thoughts on statistics. I also host a personal website on GitHub for research-related contents. You can check it out by clicking here.
