If you really want Shanghai to blow you away, theres nothing quite like wandering down a crowded street full of shiny skyscrapers only to end up in the quite and green calm of Yuyuan. Seriously, its almost confusing sometimes how diverse this city is. You can sit on a bench in Yuyuan and meditate with a view of the world’s tallest building in Pudong under construction! Regardless of the massive urbanization in Shanghai, Yuyuan will always be a lovely place to escape for a bit and to enjoy traditional Chinese culture.

I am a member of the Women's Lacrosse Team, and I also enjoy running, hiking, and skiing. I am originally from Houston, Texas, but I have been lucky enough to travel frequently with my family and experience a variety of cultures. I am very excited to settle down in a new place for a while, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with y'all!</span></p>
