CURRENT MISSION

Broadening perspectives through friendship, cultures, and travel. And alcohol.

ABOUT ME

I'm teaching in Suzhou while trying to catch a glimpse of the many (changing) faces of China.

I love being challenged, along with challenging others, so intelligent conversations are always valued.

Global opinions and perspectives fascinate me.

But really, enough about me, what about you?

PHILOSOPHY
