About Me

ABOUT ME

- "Artist" though that word has become increasingly bloated for me. I love the arts and will probably continue to pursue till the end of days.
- Enamored with the spontaneous vagabonding life of travel
-Love learning about other cultures in it many various subforms, i.e. language, food, traditions
-I'm half Korean/half Puerto Rican
-I'm a nerd on a multitude of levels. Just ask.
-I love love love Permaculture and slowly but surely making it my way of life. Looking for a permaculture project to do long term volunteering on.
- Currently enjoying a internal revolution and revival. Very grateful for it all.

PHILOSOPHY

To live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to make cultural and language exchanges. I have been traveling for almost five years now and would like to take it to the next level integrating permaculture with my artistic life as well as travels. I am currently looking for permaculture projects to volunteer/work on for my diploma.
