ABOUT ME

I have been in China since 2002, teaching and traveling. The first few years here I would spend my holidays in the countryside helping out around various farms in the north. After that i started to spend all my free time on long distance trains usually standing tickets from dongbei to Xinjiang. Last summer I got in to cycling long distances on mean budgets.
