My passion for both domestic and international travel led me to pursue a degree in Geography, with an emphasis in global studies. I completed my degree in May of 2017. Currently, I am residing in South Korea and am interested in meeting local people who can offer valuable insight into their cities.

I am interested in anything impacting global and international relations. In addition to this I am intrigued and immediately drawn to anything spatial in nature.

I am often terrible at remembering people's first names, but if I learn a geographic factoid about you, I am certain to remember that as an association.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world. I especially like interacting with those that have unique travel experiences to share. I believe that this can be facilitated by engaging with people that are generous enough to open their homes to travelers. By Couchsurfing rather than hotel stays, travelers can get a much more up close and personal view of the location.
