CURRENT MISSION I am leaving for Shanghai, China on November 2nd, 2007. Once there and established, my couch will be open. I plan to teach English somewhere in China, location has not yet been determined ABOUT ME Through some fortunate recent circumstances(others might call them devasting: laid off from a job of 5 years and soon to be displaced due to condo conversion), I have decided to pursue my passion for adventure and learning, moving to China to teach English at the "young at heart" age of 50. I have lived in Key West Florida, Austin Texas, Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, Olympia Washington and for the past six years, I've been in Portland Oregon. Recently spent 3 months in China, Shanghai and Ningbo. Now on the Oregon Coast.
