In 2011 and 2012, I volunteer at a Chinese international-exchange summer camp where I helped lead a total of approximately 100 students from China on tours across the East Coast. We spent time at a local camp learning about American culture before sight-seeing everywhere from Niagara Falls to Washington D.C.
The following photos are only from my 2012 trip. Trust me when I tell you that my 2011 experience will require a post of its very own…

For more than a decade, I have been documenting my misadventures on The Rocky Safari while exploring destinations all around the world. I may be an introvert at heart, but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to numerous solo travel adventures, I've learned to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle. Now my primary goal is to help you explore unusual places, travel longer, and design a remote lifestyle.
