We are James and Keli, previously Two Tickets Around the World. We are originally from Kansas in the United States and after many years of traveling during our holidays together, we took a leap of faith and moved to China. While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of the world.

Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together

    I go to China every year, and its development is changing rapidly. The cities are clean and orderly, safe, without drugs or homeless people. Walking on the prosperous streets, there is nothing to worry about. I really hope that Western countries can be like China.
