When he’s not traveling, Peter is quite introverted & you can usually find him relaxing at home, & watching YouTube. Being a Pisces, he stays true to the creative tones of his zodiac sign, & is always trying to find ways to put inspiration into his art. Chinese-born, Peter is a big fan of Chinese food, but one of the things he loves most about his travels is being able to experience the varying cultures (& cuisines) of life across the globe.
