Banyan Chung is from Taiwan, currently travelling and living in Europe. As a normal person who struggles with procrastination and lack of confidence every day, she has been concealing her desire to express her thoughts through creation all her life. To channel the instinct, she has been an amateur singer/songwriter in her 20s, mostly doing cover songs; also, she has been a translator/interpreter for several years, speaking others’ stories through her words. After all these years of telling others’ stories, it is not until recently did she take up all the courage to write her own, thanks to her creative writing teacher Gabrielle Smith, who is exactly the one encouraging her to submit works to Spillwords. Now she is trying to write as much as possible and learning to enjoy the process. Other than that, she loves animals and foods, practices yoga every day, and enjoys walking in cities and nature.
