CURRENT MISSION

tolerate public transit and pretend it's fine.

ABOUT ME

In March '04, straight out of university, I moved to Seoul to work in education. Having grown bored of the work I was doing and feeling it time to move on, I traveled a bit before returning to Vancouver to start a new job.

When I retire I want to publish a collection of short stories and produce short films.

PHILOSOPHY

Seek alternatives if you're not happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have started spreading the word about this to my friends. And I am more than happy to meet up with people or provide guidance about getting around and doing things in Seoul or Vancouver. To be honest, though, I really don't think I know Vancouver that well.

On the downside, I wish I could provide a place to stay. Sorry.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some people so far and more to come. Positive up till now.

Interests

I love modern archictecture, video games, the NBA, robot toys, following investment markets, cooking (I really want to know how to make dim-sum), trying out new food, social criticism, plants, and other stuff to a lesser extent.

I moved to the other side of the world with nothing and started a new life. Now I'm moving back to start a new life -- again!
