One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Mt. Everest Base Camp, watched chicken boxing in Laos, and I have seen several weasels in Beijing hutongs so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you aren't too familiar with Chinese, I can teach some survival skills in that area. I play bass and I'm pretty good at ordering Chinese food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always make sure to bring a bottle/gift, naturally. I'd be happy to mix drinks, cook eggs, or make coffee.
