I'm from the Northwest of the USA - that pretty much says it all. I got a BS in English in Salem, Oregon; I taught on and off in China from August 2001 to July 2007; while in the States, I did video editing work - freelance for a bit and then for an agriculture development organization called ECHO (which had me living in Florida for a couple of years); and now I'm in Northern Colorado, assisting teachers in China.
Hope that helps explain the hopping around.
meeting people, i guess i like wandering around - looking for stories, writing them down, checking out nature...all that.
