About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel China

ABOUT ME

I'm 24. I teach at a university. I like to SCUBA, Horse Trek, Hike, Travel, Dance, and play flute. I'm learning Chinese, KungFu, and Dizi Flute lessons.

I am American but I am not the American from the horror stories. I listen to others and realize yelling english is not the best way to communicate.

I love cooking, but I never learned the art of baking. I can make sushi, chinese dishes, chicken fried steak and french duck. But I can't bake cookies to save my life...

I love studying and talking about science, religion and politics. However my personal beliefs have nothing to do with the philosophical side of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has the right to make up an opinion, but not to make up facts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Horse Trek in Chengdu
Swim the rivers of the Alps
Swam with Dolphins

I once built a trebuchet that threw a 15lb back of rocks half a football field. *best biology class ever*
I've swam with dolphins, held a red panda, fed a giraffe and run away from a rooster.
