Hi, I'm a 26 year old recently funemployed traveler. I was working in New York City until one day I woke up and realized I needed to let go of most of what I had, pack everything else into a backpack, and see more of the world than I ever had before. Ever since, I've absolutely fallen in love with new places, new adventures, new languages (aka attempting to study Korean) :) Currently making my way across Europe after a few months stint in East and SE Asia. I, unfortunately, haven't used couch surfing yet, but hope to start now!
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Hiking
Fluent in English
Learning Korean
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
People. Stories. Exploring. But, more importantly, inspiration.
Music, Movies, and Books
This question always stumped me... It puts me on the spot so I'll let you know what I’ve most recently read: A Long Way Gone and Memoirs of a Geisha :)
