I try to fill my time with great adventures and experiences of meeting new people and learning about different customs, languages and cuisines.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 22, I moved to a small, provincial town in eastern China with hardly any other Westerners living there. I ended up spending an incredible three years there, going on some amazing adventures and making great friends who turned into family.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studying Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. I love learning new cooking skills and, as an EFL teacher, I believe there is something valuable that I can learn from every other teacher / language learner I meet.
