I am an English teacher in Korea. My parents are from Taiwan but I was born and raised in America. Thus, I can speak some Chinese.

My major was in electrical engineering but I have spent the last few years teaching English so I am reviewing what I learned to go back to my original career. The short-term goal is to be both an engineer and a teacher.

In the future, I would like to buy two homes. One will be in Gwangju, South Korea and the other will be in California, United States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in traveling. At the same time, I think I will learn more about a country by living and hanging out with the local people.

Yes, I prefer not to spend money at a hotel. :)

- learn foreign languages. I am mainly studying Korean and Chinese. I have an interest with Japanese and Mongolian as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I mainly like energetic music. Some genres that I like include heavy metal, hard rock, traditional East Asian music, K-Pop, J-Pop, etc.

Movies: I like war, action, historical, and science fiction movies.

Books: I like to read textbooks. I am mainly reading about foreign languages, psychology, anthropology, computer science, and electrical engineering.

If we are talking about novels, I like the Warhammer 40,000 series. It's a science fiction story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lesser known Chinese language known as Hokkien. It is spoken in Taiwan, Fujian, China, and throughout Southeast Asia.

You can practice Korean with me since I am learning that right now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't have a large home since I only live in a "one-room." Thus I don't have the adequate facilities to host someone. At this moment, I am more focused on making money and surviving.

When I get a sizable home, there is a good chance I will host people.
