Traveler Bio

你好! Hello! My name is Lawrence or Larry for short. I am 26 years old and was born in Virginia. However, I mostly grew up in Ohio and Oklahoma. I attended high school in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where I did competitive speech and debate for four years and won the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) National Championship in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. I then competed in debate at the collegiate level at the University of Oklahoma, where I got my degree in Management Information Systems. After graduating, I taught debate in Beijing, China before I got my master's degree in Communication and Journalism from the University of Wyoming. I am currently a part of the Fulbright U.S Student Program, and I teach competitive debate in the island nation of Taiwan. I live in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. I am excited to share some awesome places, food, and people I will encounter this upcoming year as I teach debate across the island. Let's go!
