ABOUT ME

American mother, Australian father. Can give decent advice about: West Coast US, Australia & NZ, China, and South America.

Been in China the last two years and will be out of here soon. Learned a heap in China, but it's also a bloody tough place and I feel my center of gravity is a bit off center. Just trying to enjoy my days and squeeze a few essays into publication while trying not to stress much about my future. I've gotta take baby steps out of China.

PHILOSOPHY

Be careful what you eat, the shits are easy to get.

Interests

Anything outdoors, especially the ocean.
