CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel, enjoy life, and play music as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, fun-loving guy who strives to live life to its fullest potential. My means of doing this is mostly through music. I play the violin, drums, guitar, and a little keyboard. If you want to learn how to play any of these instruments, I'd love to help you out.

I produce and perform for my band, Pillow Fighter. You can listen to us at www.myspace.com/pillowfightermusic

Right now, I am living in Gwanakgu, Seoul, South Korea teaching English. I enjoy teaching, but I'm really here for the experience of living abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host or be hosted by just about anyone in the Korea region. As long as you're a kind, open-minded person, we'll get along fine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing, but not to hospitality!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about classical music, modern and classic electronic music, classic rock, 70's 80's 90's and contemporary rock. Dance music, stoner music, trip-hop, production, performance, yada yada yada.

Seriously though, if you want to jam or learn more about music, that's something I know a lot about. For real.

I'm also into movies; love Scorcese, Copella, Kubrick, etc., so let's go see a movie!
