Hello!

I'm currently teaching English at a university just a few miles south of Zhengzhou, China. I'm wanting to meet people in the area and explore China!

I'm a fun, friendly, outgoing, well-mannered individual. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: I'm a lover of music. My tastes change through out the day. I tend to start the day with something a bit chill, maybe some old school jazz, then I move on to something a bit more upbeat... maybe some current pop music, then I may move into some classical music. As I work out I love some EDM. I might through in some old-school Paul Simon, Van Morrison, Sting or whoever is peaking my interest at the moment.

Movies: I'm all over when it comes to movies. I'm not a huge fan of the typical Hollywood blockbusters. I tend to appreciate a beautiful moving thoughtful film.

Books: I can get lost in a good book.

Podcasts: Now, that's my jam. I love all things NPR
