We have established this website to provide an environment to document our travels through life.

We are Mark and Shawn Willis.

Shawn has a Master’s degree in computer science and medicine. She enjoys a challenge and is a published author. Mark works in the aircraft industry and enjoys music, art, and writing.

Shawn is from the city of Shenyang, China. Mark is from the city of San Diego, California.

We live in Long Beach, California and have been married for several years. We have been learning about cultural differences between China and America, and how to avoid misunderstandings caused by local customs and ideas.
