I grew up in a really small in the middle of Pennsylvania. While I will always call that place home, I always wanted to get out of town and discover, learn, and experience new things.

So in college I studied abroad in Spain for a semester, fell in love with languages and traveling, ended up majoring in Spanish and backpacked around Europe the following summer

Since then, I have been teaching English in South Korea.
I currently teach English to kindergarteners in Seongnam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people you meet are what define an experience.

Interests

Right now, I'm into hiking. Generally, anything outside, in nature, is my favorite activity.

I really enjoy music. I play guitar frequently but I'm only proficient at best. Music means a lot to me, though, and I'd be down to go to any underground concert to discover and support local bands.

Into watching and participating in all sports. I like to write occasionally about travel or whatever floats my boat.

Always open to try new things, new activities.
