CURRENT MISSION

To learn 4 languages, swim in every ocean, and walk on every continent!

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Drew i just graduated from the University of Iowa in the US. I got my BA in Chinese language and Literature and Psychology. I LOVE learning new languages and aspire to learn 2 Asian and one European language FLUENTLY--i've got english and chinese down, currently working on Korean and then French. :) I love meeting new people and exploring cultures. I'm currently living on Cheju Island and living with a Korean Host family. I'm more interested in meeting locals then staying in hostels and cheap motels. Because i live with a host family i do not have a couch to offer, but i'd love to get a chai and chat!

PHILOSOPHY

Will try anything once and live life to its fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you are traveling through Jeju i'd love to get coffee or show you around the island. I live in Jeju city, but have traveled to Seogwipo, hallim, bonseong, and the various beaches... :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed, but i'm going to try for the first time in Korea! Many of my friends have recommended it to me.
