Welcome to my channel! My name is Austin Guidry, and I make videos and put them on the Internet. I believe I am the third China vlogger, after SerpentZA and Laowhy86, of course - although I have been surpassed in subscribers by quite a few people.
I intended to stay in China for seven months, but stayed for over six years and married a Chinese woman. Well, that wasn't according to plan! Haha why?! Let's talk about that.
My name is Austin Guidry, and I came to China over six years ago in February 2011 to study Chinese and write my senior thesis. I studied history in the USA, and I figured - hey, China's got a long history, plus, my professors seem to like China - let's try it out and see what happens!
You know what, I'll also film some videos and show people what China is like. Should be fun! So I did.
A few months later, I was dropped off in China's remote northwestern Gansu province to be the first-ever (and only, at the time) foreign exchange student at a university in Lanzhou (pron. Lan - Joe). I had a crazy awesome time there, and I HAD TO STAY.
So I did. I started teaching. And I stayed longer. And longer.
Six years later, I'm still here. I've lived in the remote northwest, in a sister city of Beijing called Tianjin, and I now live in Chengdu (pron. Chung Doo).
I love this place, and I want to show people what China's really like. It's not what the media says it is, and I hope you'll join me in this adventure as I try to uncover what's underneath the surface so we can get to the heart of the Middle Kingdom.
Thanks for your time - I'll see you soon! :)
