Aleese Lightyear
Hey hey! I’m Aleese, a Black American expat living in China. I’ve been out here for 6 years, working as a teacher, solo traveling, and figuring life out one hotpot at a time.
On this channel, I share honest vlogs about life abroad, teaching, travel tips, and the everyday ups and downs of living outside the U.S. with a little goofiness and a lot of heart along the way.
Thanks for stopping by! 💚
