About me

Gender Male
Industry Education
Occupation A/V Tech and Student of Chinese
Location Tyler, TX, United States
Introduction My name is Austin Guidry and I am a university graduate with a degree in History and International Studies. In September 2011, I returned from a 6 1/2 month stay in China as Lanzhou University of Technology's first-ever exchange student. I learned a lot more than language during my time there and what I want is to share my fascination with China with you. My goal right now is to become fluent in Mandarin Chinese and be able to share the adventures and experiences I had in China. I am currently preparing to return to China as an English teacher and am currently with schools in Shandong and Heilongjiang, although I will likely choose to go to Shandong, Zibo specifically.
Interests China, specifically the language and differences in lifestyles and cultural values, have really taken a hold on me the past year or so. I can't get enough of it!
