CURRENT MISSION

Teaching Munchkins ESL.

ABOUT ME

I have done many years of grad study in social sci, worked a few years of office and a bit of retail. Presently pushing a foot in the door for teaching overseas.

PHILOSOPHY

It's about process, not about being real. Don't take the norms as given and don't take yourself too seriously.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Bungee jumping. (Alright, I can't stick with just one.) The Karakoram Highway. A Japanese funeral in slow, chilled drizzle. Random rock climbing by Amasya, Turkey. Standing my ground before bears in Alaska or charging reindeer in Mongolia. Sleeping in a swamp and long, blind faith bicycle rides at night in the rain on Asian rural tracks. Thrashing where relationships are so worth the trauma. Speaking about fetish in school.
