CHINA
Country Overview:
“Love the food, hate the government”
I arrived in China in May 2013 and left August 2020. I taught English for awhile, did my master’s of politics & foreign policy at Tsinghua University, worked for a year at China Today, and then two years at Xinhua News Agency. I spent most of my time in Beijing, but also traveled to Shanghai, Wuhan, Inner Mongolia, Shenzhen, Panjin, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Qingdao, Xi’an, Sanya, Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Squarespace
I have officially moved my blog from Tumblr to Squarespace. So I've separated things a bit. To read about my year in Peru, check out 'Aventuras (Peru)' and anything from China until now, I'll continue to use 'Aventuras (China)'. In 2016 I'll start a new blog and 'Aventuras (China)' will date from 5/13-12/16. To make searching for old content easier, click on 'About' and you can browse the archive or find stuff through 'search'. For new content after 12/16, there will be a new tab which I have yet to cleverly name. Bear with me as I continue to edit the site and figure things out on this new platform.
I leave for China in under 2 weeks and I couldn’t be more excited. Minus the fact that I’ll be taking my Muay Thai shin guards and they aren’t exactly a ‘space-saver’.
I do apologize that my blog has been boring due to the fact that I’ve been in Boise, Idaho for the past month or so, but I assure you, once I’m in China, it won’t disappoint.
