CURRENT MISSION

To maximise people's enjoyment of their trip to Seoul by arming them full of useful & interesting local knowledge

ABOUT ME

My wife and I run a guesthouse (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1413026) in Hongdae, the vibrant university area of Seoul. We also have a cafe/bar downstairs - https://www.facebook.com/englishstudykorea/ (and a rooftop beer garden for BBQs & beers) where guests will have a great chance to meet locals and learn about Korea and probably also arrange for a personal tour around town. We have a few different events there, also, for travellers and locals to meet and make friends -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all around the world

Interests

I'm pretty keen on having a few relaxing beers and a BBQ while having a chat with friends. I'm a fan of travel and have had a pretty extensive look around Seoul and the rest of Korea over the last 10+ years. My wife is Korean and can give some really great recommendations of stuff to do in the land of morning calm

• beer
• bbq
• running
• gardening
• traveling
• socializing
• olympics

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many different kinds of music, but prefer to avoid most pop stuff and stick with real bands that create their own music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been in Seoul for 14 years and have a pretty good grasp of fun and interesting places to check out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I run a cafe/bar where lots of Koreans come in to hang out providing a good chance to meet some locals and make some friends.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, England, South Korea
