About Me

I am a teacher living in Hong Kong. I moved from the states 2 and a 1/2 years ago to Shanghai. I lived there for 2 years and then moved to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a great city, I love living abroad. I teach at an International School, so no I don't teach English, though I do teach in English. (That's a question I get a lot, "Oh so you teach English." My answer is usually, no I am a "real" teacher.) I have found a dance studio and the time to take modern dance classes (one of my loves). Living in Asia has also made it much easier to travel. There are a lot of amazing places 2 hours flight away.

My Interests

world travel, dance and choreography, the arts/performance, good food/cooking, live music, books, movies, the ocean
