Expedition Phase in the Southwest: Kunming, Lijiang, Dali, Xishuangbanna (all in Yunnan), Guilin
Researching Rural Education with Stanford University's Rural Education Action Program (REAP): Xi'an, Chengdu and surrounding areas
Understanding China's travel industry through working on the marketing team at WildChina
