Two of us in this picture wear Gucci and Burberry and it’s not me. Happy Easter! 🍭🥚🐣🐰————————————————————————#Shanghai #China #Travel #TeachEnglish #HappyEaster #Expat #LivingAbroad

Mornings at the beautiful Starbucks Reserve. Trying to be inspired to take my Mandarin studying more seriously, but distracted by planning future travels and drinking bubbly chai. ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #China #Expat #Starbucks #StarbucksReserve #Travel #Explore #DayDreaming #LivingAbroad #Mandarin #AiyoKaila

Heading back to Shanghai after a short and sweet trip back home! It’s been almost 8 months since I moved from Colorado to Shanghai and it’s wild how much has changed. I had no idea how much I would love Shanghai and the life I’ve created there. Getting excited to have my tea delivered by moped once again! ————————————————————————#Colorado #Shanghai #BlueSkies #Travel #ExploreMore #Expat #LivingAbroad

My lungs are pumped to be here and on holiday from the pollution of Shanghai! Nothing compares to the blue skies and Flat Irons. Miss you already! ————————————————————————#Colorado #Boulder #BlueSkies #ColoradoLive #Coloradotography #HomeSweetHome

Beautiful Colorado sunshine and the most pure air! Currently still half asleep.👯‍♀️———————————————————————— #Colorado #Denver #5280 #HomeSweetHome

Not in Shanghai this morning! I thought about all the places in the world I could go and there is no place quite like home. ❤️———————————————————————— #Colorado #Denver #HomeSweetHome

I will miss seeing this bottle of sunshine at work everyday. Now go have some cute babies I can play with! ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #China #ByeVicki #WoAiNi

The famous Yayoi Kusama brought her “All About Love Speaks Forever” exhibit to Shanghai! Rooms and rooms of dots. What a dream. ————————————————————————#Shanghai #China #Asia #Travel #ExploreMore #Art #YayoiKusama #Expat #LivingAbroad #Love

It makes me so happy that so many of these kids are matched with families and are waiting for the paperwork to process and go home with them! It also breaks my heart the complex medical challenges they often face and the long roads ahead. ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #China #Adoption

Not well versed in children’s songs, so now this chunky monkey has been exposed to my voice singing Taylor Swift. It’s quite the difference spending time at the hospital compared to my job where I work with the often very privileged kids of China. ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #China #Asia #Adoption #SquishyBabies

Morning tea and blue sky. I used to look out at the flatirons from my bedroom and now it’s the Shanghai skyline. ————————————————————————- #Shanghai #China #Asia #Travel #ExploreMore #Expat #LivingAbroad

Bye mom! Fortunate to have family that loves traveling. The second part of a whirlwind trip in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Huangshan. If you’re looking for me I’ll be asleep in recovery. ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #Hangzhou #Huangshan #YellowMountains #China #Asia #Travel #Explore #ExploreMore #Travel #Vlog #OptOutside #Hiking #Expat #LivingAbroad

My mother, the hiking queen! I’m mildly directionally challenged and not great with maps and thus we hiked 2x more than needed. You’re welcome mom! ———————————————————————— #Huangshan #YellowMountains #China #Asia #TravelChina #Travel #Travels #ExploreMore #OptOutside #Hiking #GreatOutdoors #Expat #LivingAbroad #UNESCO

Mystical, misty and silent! Bullet train to Huangshan and a full afternoon of hiking in the beautiful and serene Yellow Mountains. A nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. ———————————————————————— #Huangshan #YellowMountains #China #UNESCO #Asia #TravelChina #Travel #Travels #ExploreMore #OptOutside #Hiking #GreatOutdoors #Expat #LivingAbroad

Showing my dear mother around Shanghai and beyond has been so fun and exhausting with packed days. Wild to think we’ve been so many places all over the world together and here we are back in China! ———————————————————————— #Shanghai #Hangzhou #China #Asia #Travel #ExploreMore #TravelChina #Vlog #Expat #LivingAbroad #Travels #TeachEnglish #Adoption #MotherDaughter #SherylInShanghai

What better way to celebrate my 6 months of living in Shanghai than having my mom in town and running around the city and more!————————————————————————#Shanghai #China #Asia #Travel #ExploreMore #LivingAbroad #Expat #TheBund #ILoveShanghai #SherylInShanghai #FamilyTime

Took my mom to the hospital where I’ve been volunteering with kids getting medical treatment from orphanages all over Shanghai. What a special experience to share with her! ————————————————————————#Shanghai #China #Adoption #Asia #Expat #Kindness #LivingAbroad

Sheryl in Hangzhou! She landed in Shanghai and I promptly whisked her away to Hangzhou which is the city known as “Heaven on Earth.” ———————————————————————#Hangzhou #China #Asia #Travel #ExploreMore #Explore #TravelChina #Expat #LivingAbroad #WestLake #HeavenOnEarth #SherylComesToChina

A rainy day in Hangzhou is best spent sampling tea while looking out at the beautiful gardens blooming with flowers! Hangzhou is famous for tea. ———————————————————————— #Hangzhou #China #Asia #Teahouse #Travel #Explore #ExploreMore #Expat #LivingAbroad #TravelChina #RainyDay

Officially in holiday mode for four days! I survived 9 days straight of afternoons during an intensive session with this three troublemakers (and Pinrui). It’s so interesting seeing kid dynamics and having an all boy class was pure survival. BOYS! 💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️———————————————————————-#Shanghai #China #Asia #Teaching #Teacher #TeachEnglish #Travel #Explore #ExploreMore #Expat #LivingAbroad
