About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep living adventures together so life never gets boring

ABOUT ME

I am a travel-addicted girl who loves new adventures. I'm a super nerd and go to a lot of comic cons. I also love adrenaline pumping activities though honestly I need a coach. I'll act like a scared baby at first. I work full-time in animal behavior & neuroscience and absolutely love my job. I'm a foodie with a passion for Asian cuisine (both consuming and producing). I sew, make costumes, and dress up as comic book characters.

Kyung is ex-military and an all around fun loving and goofy individual. He hails from Korea but has lived in the states for many years. He's currently going to school at Portland State University and studies Computer Science. He really loves to eat, work out, eat some more, and then nap. Can you tell Elly is writing this?

Hobbies we share are our pets, interior design (he constructs and I design), sci-fi television, getting silly drunk, and tattoos.

PHILOSOPHY

More inept than money, but worthy of love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Elly has spent time on the set of Battlestar Galactica in Vancouver, Canada. She is a huge sci-fi fan. She also goes to San Diego Comic Con and Dragon*con every year. Total nerd.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bicycling!
We can also teach you Korean and Japanese tricks in the kitchen.
Mike can cook a pretty mean steak. Sorry but not many of our meals are very vegan/vegetarian friendly...unless you also eat fish.
