I've lived in Hainan with my husband and a growing assortment of dogs and houseguests since 2005. I love working in Haikou People's Hospital where I teach spoken and medical English to the staff. I write the small and insignificant blog Mouseneb about expat life in Hainan, and also contribute articles to Lost Laowai.
