Julie Marx

Julie M. Marx, a PCC-certified coach, has spent the past 20 years immersed in China’s culture, language, and expat life. Her journey began as a wide-eyed language student in Beijing in 2004, eventually leading her to spend more than a decade in Shenyang, a so-called ‘small’ town of 8 million in China’s underestimated but dynamic Northeast. Over the years, she has experienced China as a student, employee, entrepreneur, and even a micro-influencer, giving her a unique 360-degree perspective on expat life.

The China that Julie first set foot in during the early 2000s and its post-pandemic version are radically different, but a few things remain the same: how welcoming the Chinese people are, how exciting and ever-changing its society is, and how amazing the food continues to be! China is often misunderstood in the media, but those who take the leap and experience it firsthand rarely look back. The country’s blend of modern innovation and ancient traditions creates a unique, ever-evolving landscape. With a low cost of living and career opportunities in mid-sized cities (4–8 million people), and a history spanning 5,000 years, China offers an adventure unlike any other. Most importantly, politics fade into the background as genuine friendships form over shared meals and cultural exchanges.
