-Well, I'm of a mixed descent of Ukrainian-Jewish mother and a full blooded Korean father. I got into distance running at the age of 15 playing soccer in the same time as I ran for my self after school and other activities, that included weight-lifting. I worked in construction since I turned 15 as well part time until the age of 17 before I finished high school education, at the age of 19 I started working officially for my first electrical company in NYC, the job is tough involving a lot of physical labor but, it paid the bills. I live on my own, during summer I usually take a break, originally planned to save up and move to train for NYC Marathon that I finally qualified for until November 2015 and then return to work until two years later when I'm going to part take in an attempt to run accross the entire length of Vietnam. I'm a runner with spirit and experience, I learned a lot through years of careful approach to running and building of character. Hard work is useless if it's done without propper approach, experience is still a key sometimes. Amyway, i'm hoping to meet new friends through my efforts in traveling by running in as many States here as I can. I'm a shy and at times awkwardly quiet but, once I get to know you, we can have fun running and picnic-ing out on trails or hikes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because running doesn't yet pay the bills, but it is to me a deeply inspiring and life motivating thing I love doing.
