Personal Interests

I am an explorer by nature and love to uncover the curious in the mundane. I lived in China for five years, Cambodia for a year, and the United States for six months, and currently live in Australia. I love playing with languages and had a lot of fun learning about Chinese history, culture and politics through the dissection of songs, music and television shows while writing the book. We live in a fascinating world!
