I am from California, USA. I work at University of California, Santa Cruz. I like surfing, photography and traveling. I've been to 15 countries. I also work with international students (I've had students from more than 70 countries) and I lived abroad and taught English for 7 years in Taiwan. I am learning both Chinese (Mandarin) and Spanish, but I'm always happy to meet new friends from any country. We can do language exchange or I could give you advice if you want to study in the United States.
