Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Same reason we all are: to save money and meet interesting people.

Interests

I'm a fan of cultural landscapes: music, food, history, and how they all command the direction of humanity within the guidelines of the natural world. Restoring and protecting wild spaces is my foremost mission.

But I'm also very much into hiking/backpacking, hardcore, kpop, vegan food, PMA, world history and politics, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hardcore, Hip-Hop, Jazz, K-pop

Any books by Thoreau, Hesse, Michael Crichton, Ed Abbey, or Alan Weisman

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a well-learned environmental educator and traveler. I can offer engaging conversation above anything else.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and leftovers.
