CURRENT MISSION I'm heading back to Shanghai after a long traveling stint through Russia, Turkey, and the US. ABOUT ME I grew up in the US (Louisiana). I spent about six years in China (Beijing and Shanghai). After I return to Shanghai, I want to improve my Chinese level and do a business-related internship. In a year or two, I hope to either be working in China or studying (perhaps Business Informatics). PHILOSOPHY I often feel like I'm a boring person. So, the best philosophy for me is probably the following quote by Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't than the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
