Amy in Asia

Just Amy, a teacher who travels and lives in Asia…

I’m here to share the world as I experience it, photos is one way to share but I’ve started this blog to offer stories and ideas for fellow travel lovers, as well as to just share what it is I’m experiencing in Asia.

What do I share?

One year ago, me and these crazy ladies went on a hike through Xikou (Xuedoushan) located in Ningbo’s Fenghua region.

Last summer, this was the life. Stuck in Ningbo but at least it was sunny. Now we’re on day 2354829 of rain! Or at least it feels like it. Bring me some sun now please and not when I return to work!

Going to hate myself for this post later

From sharing photos of my daily activities in China, to my travels during the holidays. I have also started sharing blog posts with some (hopefully) helpful tips!
