Hi everyone, my name is Meili Konell and I will be traveling to China in 6 days! I was adopted there when I was only 4 months old and this will be my first time going back. We will be visiting Beijing, and Shanghai for about five days each and taking a day trip and Zhouzhuang. We will explore the different cities while site seeing historic places such as the Great Wall, Tian’anmen, the Forbidden City along with many more tourist attractions. We will also be volunteering at two orphanages which I’m looking forward to since we have been given the opportunity to collect donations for the children. It will also give me a chance to see the environment and culture  where I came from for the first time in 18 years.

Until next time, 

Zai jian! Meili
