I'm a college student in an Asian studies program, emphasizing in Korean and Japanese studies along with a minor in illustration. I enjoy wandering and wondering in any order. A deep interest in cultures and the arts are two of my driving forces for travel and seeking out new experiences. Meeting, interacting with, and understanding people are the underlying motivations for my studies. I have a creative outlook and a need to add something to the world around me. As a guest, I'm clean and willing to help out. I also do not drink or smoke, but I still enjoy going out and socializing with others.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that while there is importance in keeping a vision of the big picture, there is too much beauty looked over in the finer details of life. I work to find and share those small experiences with others, while trying to make a place for myself in the world. We're all here on earth together and I feel it's better if when can meet and share our world together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find the Couchsurfing community to be vibrant and important one. It's an opportunity to be out in the world and meet the people that live in it. It's a real joy to visit and share experiences with those I come in contact with and Couchsurfing helps me do that the world over. It's also a great travel companion.

Interests

I enjoy reading, art, and music. I play guitar and I am learning both mandolin and piano. Taking walks for leisure and finding new things near my house are always pleasant. I also enjoy video games and movies, along with being with my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of movies, except for certain horror films. I am especially drawn to animation. I listen to most types of music, but find myself drawn to the indie and folk scenes. I read lots of just about anything. I guess you could say I'm well rounded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fortunate enough to experience a good amount of travel in my life and I reflect often on the many different people I have met along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you can think of something I can teach you, I'll be more than happy to help. I'm happy just to learn about different ways of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share anything from my thoughts and views on life to skills in guitar or the languages I speak.
