Bio

Erika J. Lin, born on May 26th, 1992, is currently studying Marketing Management at “Bocconi University”  in Milan, Italy, where she lives with her family. She has a younger brother and her parents are from Wenzhou, the most commercial city in China, which she often visit, being bound to it not only through relatives but also through personal affection.

At University, she loves to be engaged in Campus Life actively. She is currently the President of Bocconi Chinese Student Association and she also works at Radio Bocconi as a speaker.

She loves traveling and photography. She believes that it is enough to have a boarding pass, a trolley and her Canon reflex to be happy. She is fascinated by the Luxury world in the shimmering Milan, where she works in a High End Luxury boutique.

Since she has been a member of her high school magazine for four years, being its director for two years, she writes a lot, dealing both with actuality and with columns. After having seen Steve McCurry’s photo-service about the Afghan Girl in the April 2002 issue of the Italian National Geographic, she loves Steve’s photography and her love has been reinforced by Steve McCurry’s exhibition in Milan in 2009; eventually she’s working on an essay about Afghanistan seen through McCurry’s lens. In fact she adores writing, she has been doing that since she was only eight years old, and that was one of the reasons why she decided to attend classical studies. She is fond of cooking, too, and spends all her spare time among cakes, pies and biscuits. She has been blogging for some ten years, being keen on web design and layouting.
She also speaks five languages, and loves to learn new expressions and to come to know about other people’s traditions: she would spend her life travelling, that broadens the mind.
