Welcome to The Circumnavigator

Welcome to my travelblog.

I am currently living in Wuhan, China and working there as a teacher. I get paid shit but I have a lot of fun in the process. I hope to use this as a stepping stone to travel all over the world. I know it's a dream that is a bit out there, but I'd like to work at it and continue pushing towards that goal.

This blog will document some of my experiences, both positive and negative, that I will have in China.

I look forward to making some new friends through this blog. Please read this and subscribe if you like. If not then I apologize for disappointing you 😊
