I have spent a large part of my life traveling. I love to see how other people live and understand their perspectives on life -- it's like a shot of inspiration.

Right now I am teaching English to amazing college kids and high schoolers in China. I love my job!

教，学，和分享

Teach -- English, French, Arabic alphabet (no vocab, but I can write your name!), basic salsa dancing steps.

Learn -- some ideas: Chinese (Mandarin), languages, how to cook your favorite dish, something about sustainability or the future of our world, tell me about how you spend your day, how to make foam designs (like a leaf) in lattes/cappuccinos, how to select a good wine for any occasion, how to build something (I'm not very handy), something creative.

Share -- food, music, dancing

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm outgoing but respectful of space. I like meeting new people but don't have expectations of my hosts or new acquaintances.

I'm not filling out the "countries I've visited" field because I don't think seeing the capital counts as the whole country -- but I've visited a number of European cities and enjoy swapping travel stories.

我居住过的国家

China, France, United Arab Emirates, United States
