CURRENT MISSION

Fun.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from England and have travelled much around Europe. I have been teaching English in South Korea for about 7 years. During this time I have travelled extensively around Asia. I have also travelled to the US for a month. My main hobby is rock climbing. I'm definitely more of a country-outdoors kind of person, but I do enjoy a few days in a city now and again. I enjoy concerts (of all different kinds). Food is also a big passion of mine. I am always interested in sampling local delicacies. I will be spending the next 6 months or so (Oct 2013 - May 2014) travelling around South America. During this time I hope to vastly improve my poor Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy yourself and try your best not to anything that will hinder other people's enjoyment of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have lived in Korea for the last 7 years. Many people have stayed on my couch during this time. Most of these people have been friends and friends of friends. As a result, my couchsurfing account looks fairly blank.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I mention above, I have no official couchsurfing experience, but I am fascinated to get more involved in this interesting community.
