ABOUT ME

Ni hao, I'm Alex from America. I've been living and teaching in Asia for two years now, using the free time I have to travel.

I came to Taiwan straight from college in Indiana, USA. My plan was to go abroad, save a little and then home to pursue a career. The experiences I've had and the people I've met, however, have kept me in Asia for a little longer.

Drop me a line if you're in the area or I'll see you on the road.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love a good book exchange so if we ever meet maybe we could swap some books.
My library holds mostly classics with lots of psychology/sociology books and some anthro.

As for movies, I love a good underdog fantasy flick.
