Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To soak in all that life has to offer - especially during my short time teaching in Korea - and to embrace new opportunities that may come my way.
ABOUT ME
Hmm...well I like travelling. a lot. I like to meet new people and hear about their experiences. I'm originally from the Midwest, which doesn't have a whole lot of exciting things to offer to someone that's openminded and seeking adventure. Currently, I'm living in South Korea and am teaching English to a crazy little bunch of kids in the small city of 영천 (Yeongcheon). It's a pretty cool gig, the life of a teacher here is pretty breezy and I'm enjoying the ride that "Dynamic Korea" is taking me on.
PHILOSOPHY
Have an open mind and an open heart. Travel more and worry less. Do what makes you happy. Breathe.
The best things in life, aren't things.
Forget shit, and move on.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've done a bit of surfing back in the states and hope to surf around Asia while I'm here. I'll always try to open my home to others that want to be a part of the experience as well. I've also noticed that I generally think that the people I know who are members of couchsurfing are all interesting, open minded and friendly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
backpacking Europe with my 2 best friends, stepping off of the plane with the realization that South Korea is my new home, bungee jumping, soju filled nights out that turn into mornings,...
Teach, Learn, Share
Eat greasy food during the day to avoid a hangover. When you wake up with a hangover eat eggs.
-The grease repels the alcohol from the stomach lining and the eggs have an enzyme that breaks down the hangover causing toxin. no joke.
On that note, I make pretty decent eggs,if anyone wants to learn...
