About Us!

Seth Anderson and Amanda Roberts met online in 2008. In May of 2009 after Amanda’s Master’s graduation, she moved to Orlando to start a new life with Seth. They married in March of 2010. But that was when the economy was taking a severe nose-dive and full-time teaching jobs proved impossible to get. Seth had just graduated as a pharmacy technician and also was unable to find full-time work. With the debt mounting and the possibility of moving becoming bigger, they made the decision of “if we have to move, let’s move big!” Amanda had a minor in Chinese language and had always dreamed of teaching in China but never thought it would actually happen. But with Seth’s support and easy-going attitude, her dream and their new life began in China in August of 2010. This blog chronicles their life here in the Middle Kingdom.
