Roseann Lake is happiest when not sleeping in her own bed, which despite its promiscuous implications, is just meant to illustrate her wanderlust. As an undergrad, she triple majored in Spanish, French and English Literatures, mainly as an excuse to bop around Europe and South America. She now speaks fluent Spanish and French, decent Italian, and enough Mandarin to keep her from ruffling too many feathers in Beijing.

Recently graduated from NYU with a Masters degree in Journalism, she finds Beijing to be a constant source of fresh material, and is having a razzling good time cruising around town on her hot orange electric scooter, Fanta.
 
Wherever she goes, (and this hen loves to flee the coop!) Roseann believes in the importance of laughing at frustrations, trusting in the common good of humankind, and having a healthy appetite for the unordinary, even when it can’t be digested without Pepto Bismol.

Roseann is also the Property editor for Time Out Beijing, and contributes semi-regularly to Best Food in China, The Huffington Post, and France24.
