你好！I am a photographer, teacher and volunteer in the Chinese community. I live near Houston, Texas (USA). I am learning Mandarin Chinese to be able to communicate better with my Chinese neighbors and friends. I enjoy the culture and traditional foods very much. I have been to Taiwan and I loved it. I have plans to visit mainland China someday soon. I travel a lot with my husband (who is also learning Mandarin Chinese). I have many friends around the world and I enjoy visiting new places and trying new foods and experiences. I hope to be able to sit down with a person in China and have a meaningful conversation one day!
