About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Attempting to learn chinese, be a good teacher and travel forever!

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I am a really friendly and jolly person. I am currently teaching various aspects of Business at Shaoguan University, but teaching is not my profession, but more a very enjoyable means to travel. I am currently on my fourth gap year- this time a break from university. Back in England I study International Development and Business. I hope to continue after graduating to look at international politics or economics. The future is very unclear, I am just enjoying today!

Whilst in China I plan to travel as much of the country as I possibly can. This will start from early January 2013 as I get a great two month term break for Spring festival. I will be heading North west mostly by train. I want to experience as much of China as I possibly can whilst here and try to absorb some of the vast culture, language and people!

PHILOSOPHY

Atheist, and always adding to my personal philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Niel Gaiman is my all time favorite author. I like fantasty books, jazz, electro swing, most music, and mostly art house movies or anime :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many experiences that I have been lucky enough to experience and share in. It is too hard to pick one at random! Hopefully we can discuss some of these together when we are surfing :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting all people and try to learn new things from every person I meet. Life is about growing and learning, one of the most enjoyable parts of this is sharing it with the people you meet along the way.
