Taught English in Korea for a year at a Dague Middle school in Suseong-gu (수성구). I went to Korea for a "gap year" after graduating with a degree in Economics from Rutgers. But also have a CELTA from Cambridge, and TEFL from University of Texas. So let me know if you want help with English during your stay!
For work, I am a the Purchasing Manager for a packaging supply company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a futon. I live 3 blocks from the metro to Philadelphia. It is 3 stops/10 minutes to Center City. Round trip from my place on the PATCO is ~$4USD. Plus there is Uber and Lyft if you are familiar with that.
Additionally, the metro by my place will take you to Atlantic City in 1 hour and in 1.5 hours to NYC. Washington DC is also about 2 hours from my home using the metro.
