My name is Bella. I’m 21 years old. I’m currently studying in NTUB. I like beautiful outfits and decorations. Also, I like to listen to music and watch movies in my free time.  Especially Korean tv series. Because the plots are exclusive and the actors are unique.

Being curious about everything is one of my biggest trait as well.
