We are originally from Kansas in the United States and after many years of traveling during our holidays together, we took a leap of faith and moved to China. While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of the world. Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together.
