I'm Alex, and I work as a localizer for Chinese education apps (basically translating and adapting them to an English-speaking market) in Beijing, China. At least that's what pays the bills... My real passion is food blogging on my Instagram "Vegan in China" where I explore the incredibly diverse Chinese cuisines through a plant-based lens. My goal is to gently promote a sustainable, compassionate (and frankly delicious) lifestyle while building connections between foreigners and locals. Things that get me talking: - Travel (although not much of that happening recently since I'm stuck in China :( ) - Food - Cultural differences - Ethical dilemmas I learn languages to open my mind to different cultures and understand things that I wouldn't otherwise be able to express in my native tongue. I love constructive criticism - please challenge me in your class, whether it be via language correction or by bringing up a controversial topic!
