CURRENT MISSION My partner, Lily, and I are currently teachers at an International School in Kunming. We are teaching english, geography, science, math, art, and outdoor education. Before that, I spent two years as an outdoor/environmental educator teaching American teenagers about living responsibly and ethically in a modern, globalized world (to put it very broadly), and Lily was an early-childhood educator at the Jackson Hole Children's Museum and at the Bay Area Discovery museum. We are both very passionate about experiential education and inquiry-based learning, and we believe travel is a very important form of learning that we wish all people could experience. ABOUT US We are both very friendly and welcoming people, and will enjoy most activities that involve getting to know you or having fun in any way. We are very passionate about personal relationships (quantity and quality), and new experiences. As much as possible, we try to join these two factors in everything we do, and so far it has led to quite fulfilling personal lives! We are also big fans of empathy, and try to exercise it as much as possible. We do our absolute best to be accepting and non-judgmental towards everyone that we meet, as every person is endlessly complex and always has something to offer.
