I went from a public librarian in Texas to being a school librarian in Fuzhou, China. These are my adventures.

I haven’t been posting a lot, mostly cause I’m used to posting while traveling and stuff. I also got sick within a day of coming home (bronchitis) so I also have just been kind of dead. But I thought I would share a bunch of the animals here! Especially my precious babies, Tasha (black) and Ria (brown). #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm13HF-pEKV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My view when I got off the plane in SeaTac last Wednesday, December 21, having made the difficult decision to move home from China. I was then wiped out by a cold for several days, hence my taking awhile to post. I don’t know what’s next, gonna take some time to myself but I know I’m going to desperately miss the people and kids I left behind. #homesweethome #whatsnext https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmsxxiuu-Fw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First, breakfast before taking on the park! Also, last night @ndfirish20 said we should try the “Last Christmas” challenge (see how long you last into the holiday without hearing “Last Christmas”). We step onto Universal Citywalk and it literally starts playing. Nate’s scream of agony made @elizabethacr11 and I laugh really really hard. #coffeetime #coffeeislove #coffeeislife #booknerdabroad #nerdabroad https://www.instagram.com/p/ClH_0IxNbSr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So a lot of people have been like “why did you go to Beijing? Covid restrictions are such a pain!” Well, we came for one very specific reason. And by god, we will complete our mission! @ndfirish20 @elizabethacr11 #wereonvacation #universalbeijingresort #booknerdabroad #nerdabroad https://www.instagram.com/p/ClH_B8At14E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oooooo! Dessert! Caramelized pineapple with coconut mousse with (we think) liquid nitrogen ice cream. @ndfirish20 @elizabethacr11 #foodstagram #booknerdabroad #nerdabroad https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGxD6augQU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The best thing about getting our health codes working again? We still have time for our Fancy Dinner! El Rojo, a Spanish restaurant here, provides fantastic service to go with their AMAZING food. @ndfirish20 @elizabethacr11 #foodstagram #booknerdabroad #nerdabroad https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGpcJFOcpP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
