音乐、电影和书籍

Alternative music is my favorite, but I dabble in most genres.
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Japanese House have been on high rotation.

I am trying to get out of the Hollywood mould and watch more international films. My friends and I do a monthly, just-for-fun film discussion. Next up: LA Confidential.

Favorite tv show: Deadwood.

I really enjoy the poetry of Jim Harrison and prose of Cormac McCarthy. Blood Meridian is a masterpiece.

Currently reading: Camus & Salt, by Mark Kurlansky.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I watched the sun rise at Hua Shan, outside Xi’an, in China.

教，学，和分享

Travel without reflection is just motion without meaning.

I can help with your English! I’m a trained ESL professional (adult education).

I'm certainly introspective but enjoy a good deep conversation.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share the experiences of a late-blooming, homeschooled introvert who moved across the world. Also, can help to tidy up, take care of animals, or do some yard work.
