About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I enjoy teaching, living and traveling around Beijing usually with a beer in hand.

ABOUT ME

I have been living and teaching in Beijing, China for more than 2 years. I am an outgoing person and love to be active and explore new things. I began blogging a few months ago on my site www.thebjreviewer.com. I try to provide free, helpful information for people who are thinking about teaching/living in Beijing, China.QQ 860791741

PHILOSOPHY

I think that we only get one life and it is very short so we should live that life as we want to. It might be a little selfish however I would prefer to have met a lot of different people, enjoyed many different cultures and had a ton of experiences than possessing anything material.

2. Experiencing the magnitude 8.0 earthquake in 2008 while studying at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China.
3. Helping with Hurricane Katrina relief for a couple weeks in January 2006 in Long Beach, Mississippi.
