About

Researcher.
Analyst.
Digital Nomad.

Yunan Bai, friends call her Arya, originally from Xiamen, a small island city in southeast China, now based in Amsterdam. Currently enrolled in the Research Master’s programme in Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, with a focus on quantitative methodology, and working as an intern at Elsevier.

Raised by a loving family, together with a cat who is 17 years old now. Childhood dream was to be a dragon slayer; in the end she grew up to be an indie game lover and TRPG nerd.

Besides all this, also an urban nomad, travelling, searching, learning across different cities and cultures. Full of love for the ever-changing world, exploring in the flow.
