Hi, I'm Bum! I'm interested in too many things and I can't sit still. I've been living in Seoul for the past decade and now it's time for a change. I'm quitting my job as an ESL teacher to travel South East Asia before I figure out how to write the next chapter of my life. What I really want to is to connect with people, experience what the world has to offer, and learn how I can give back. I'm particularly interested in reducing plastic in the ocean.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I thought it was surfing, but on a couch. In all seriousness, I think it would be an opportunity to meet people who live in the areas I am traveling to. I hope to learn about their lives and to give them a piece of me.

Musica, film e libri

I like almost any kind of music. I've been a hip hop head for most of my life but I became a big rock fan later. Recently I've grown a liking for trance and EDM. It's ㅁ broad range of genres I listen to. I can't say I'm a big fan of K-pop though. I like trippy movies like Neon Demon, Enter the Void, Annihilation, etc. I like sci-fi movies that question the nature of our existence and our place in the universe.

Stephen Pressfield's The War of Art probably had the most impact in my life.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

My short career as a professional boxer was incredibly difficult and painful, yet unequivocally rewarding to my spirit.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach Korean and English. Maybe even a bit of boxing or lifting knowledge.
I want to learn too many things but Spanish and music is at the top of the list.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can share stories from my life and perhaps some cooking from my culture.
