Just quit my job as an English teacher in Seoul, Korea (after almost 3 years). decided to spend my savings traveling the world.

Ready to explore the world to better understand myself and the people I come across.

Always up and open to conversations, good times, and exploration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world needs more selfless people and experiences; I try and do what I can to walk on that path.

Also, II beleive the best way to view a new land is to walk like the locals. So staying with a CS host seems to be the best way to do that.

Interests

I don't want to spend much time on this so here we go:

I'm into fitness. A fit body equals a fit mind in my opinion.

The arts (Writing, music, painting, conceptual, multimedia)

Martial arts (mainly Capoeira),

Fun/intellectual conversations, bantering, "Shooting the shit" (a.k.a.- hanging out)

• arts
• culture
• writing
• capoeira
• ethics
• vegan
• exercise
• running
• clothing
• traveling
• music
• hiking
• martial arts

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in music. I prefer indie and underground genres of music.

To name a few: Arthur Russell, Death Grips, , FKA Twigs, Mykki Blanco, Little Dragon; genres I currently invest time in now are deep house (and it's sub-genres), ambient, and experimental folk (there's more but I don't like naming off too much).

I'm into independent directors like Gaspar Noe, Darren Aranofsky (before "Noah"), Jean-Luc Goddard, Harmony Korine, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alexander McQueen, and Nicolas Refn to name a few.

I could go on about comic books and literary books. My favorite comic writer is Grant Morrison and a few of my favorite novelists are Herman Hesse, Ivan Turgenov, and James Baldwin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I worked in Estes Park, Colorado (located next to the Rocky Mountains) in the Summer of 2013, a coworker hiked and got lost in the Rocky Mountain National Park for a night with nothing but a lighter, and a bag of potato chips. Early the next morning at 4:30 we had to hike back into town so I could get to work on time.

Completed a 10-day Vipassanna meditation course (it gets intense, but worth it).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some f**king awesome vegan food.

You can come along with me and exercise, participate in meditation, OR do a yoga session with me (both are dope).

We can do banter (my favorite sport) down the rabbit hole of endless topics.

Oh, and I can teach the Korean alphabet and survival Korean language (if you have any desire).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Intriguing views of ethics, philosophy. We can definitely exchange music and other interests within the arts.

I can teach you the martial art of Capoeria, and make some bomb-ass vegan food if given the opportunity and resources.
