About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I graduated from college in 2011, worked for 2 years as a consultant, and then accepted a 2-year teaching non-profit teaching fellowship in China. Couchsurfing interpreted my address as being in Kunming but I'm currently living at a remote school in Binchuan County in Yunnan Dali.
I like most types of sports. Enjoy eating and learning new recipes. Love a good run, bike or explore around town.
PHILOSOPHY
Keep an open mind. Really I have a hard time writing up my philosophy in a few paragraphs. Partially because there are parts of my current personal philosophy that I hope will never change as I grow older, and other parts that I hope will continue to grow and expand as I learn more about the world and the ways other people and cultures think.
