Thanks for being here. In the winter of 2008 I left my life in the United States for the Far East. I eventually arrived in China in early-2009, where I spent the a majority of that year traveling through spaces of China. I did not know a word of spoken Mandarin before I arrived, nor did I know much about the Country.
These travels from 2008 to the present-day have transformed my life. Along the way I met people who would forever influence my way, including a woman who would I would marry in Italy.
Originally, this site was a tapestry to exchange stories, ideas, and provide those who were interested with an experiential, and intimate perspective about the people of The Peoples Republic in China. Although the underlying motives have not changed, the geographic scope has widened beyond that of its humble beginnings in the Far East, and still remains within the domain of the Peoples Republic.
