Currently, I live and work in Guangzhou, China and attend Ball State University via the Internet. I am an English teacher with more than ten years of teaching experience in the USA and abroad. I've lived in four countries, several US states, and visited a number of states and countries besides. My interests included writing bad poetry, reading history books, and going for walks down side alleys with my camera. I plan to graduate with my masters in literary journalism at the end of 2014. This site is one half of my capstone project. The other half is the downloadable book that serves as a companion piece to this site and offers greater depth and insight into the sites listed here. (Coming Soon)
This website seeks to inform readers about local tourism sites in Guangzhou without creating a Western-centric bias or viewpoint, while still supplying the needed information to make the city accessible to any traveler.
I am working to provide a separate, non-Western point of view in order to avoid stereotyping and self-centering the work. I want the reader to feel like they are a part of the Guangzhou experience without having to see it through my eyes.
I have chosen to not use any last names of participants, company names, or my own name. If you wish to use this site as source material please contact me.
