I'm 25. I recently moved to Wenzhou China. I'm independently studying Chinese. Besides that, I'm a musician and music producer. I play guitar, drumset, bass, ukulele, and sing. And I write my own songs. You research my band "Humans Etcetera" if you'd like to hear.

I have a bachelors degree from West Virginia University. (I studied Chinese, Poetry, and Music).

Travel experience:

In 2014 I completed a semester abroad studying art in Hong Kong at Lingnan University (Tuen Mun, NT).
That summer, I went to New York and worked at an international summer camp called "French Woods Festival of Performing Arts."

2015, Last summer I studied abroad in China at Nanjing Medical University. Then I traveled through Shanghai, Hong Kong, San Francisco, and New York City.

Now I've returned to China to live for a few years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once threw a piece of trash at the bin and IT WENT IN!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English, Guitar, and How to cook a slice of day old pizza in the toaster.

I love to learn about foreign cultures, and languages. I'd also like someone to teach me how to whistle. I can't do it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A laugh or two.
A cry or three.
A quizzical pause or... four?
