About me
I’m an American citizen and I’ve lived and worked in China for six years and am highly proficient in Mandarin and am moving to Taiwan to take it to the next level over summer of 2012 and then dig in long term as a teacher (that’s my trade). I’ve traveled to 13-15 countries, depending on what you count as a country.Recent activity
