I'm a smiley cartoonist who love to travel and loves mascots. I grew up near the east coast of the U.S. and am currently living in South Korea. I love to draw about my travels on my illustrated blog, www.mooncheez.com . :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning things about other ways of life through people and their surroundings. I'll be taking a solo trip soon this year and would love to do some exploring and connecting with new friends in Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After years of geeking out over mascots all over, I finally had my dream come true at the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix near Osaka, Japan in November 2018. I almost exploded from happiness. ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned a lot about myself and how others learn from moving away from home and teaching children in South Korea. It's wonderfully challenging and rewarding every day.
