CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and learn! Traveling can be expensive, but visiting countries, experiencing a culture, and meeting people is worth more than the cost of a plane ticket.

ABOUT ME

What's up?! I am from the great city of Los Angeles. Grew up in the best neighborhood in LA, Koreatown! The only place in LA where you can eat the best korean, mexican and central american food all in one place.
At the moment, I'm living and working in the north of France. I teach English and sometimes Spanish. Working with kids can be fun, they make me laugh a lot and they make me realize how annoying I must've been when I was a teen.
I studied art, photography and french. My photography is heavily influenced by Los Angeles and color photographers of the past. I'm always trying to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I live in France and I'm documenting my stay and travels.

PHILOSOPHY

YOLO!!!!!!

kidding....

Let's see... don't set limitations, because what may seem unattainable, is just within reach. Set goals and reach them, don't just say, "I wish that one day I can...." Just go for it dude!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to France twice. I don't think I ever imagined that I would live in Europe because for many Americans going to Europe is only a dream, but living there?! When I began university, I was determined to study abroad and I did! I lived in Paris and oh boy was it a life-changing experience. It was the first time I was independent in a country I had never visited, I met some of the most amazing friends anyone could ask for, and I learned that I'm capable of doing anything I want. I would say it's the best year of my life so far.
Now, I'm living and working in France. I really do learn something new about myself every time I live abroad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you improve your English, Spanish, or French unless you already speak these languages. I can give you photo tips or a quick photo lesson.
I can cook a few things, but it's nothing extraordinary. But, I can bake some pretty delicious chocolate chip cookies.
I am very interested in new languages, so I'd be more than happy to learn a few new words in your language. I just recently learned to count to 10 in German!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my life experiences. Let's share funny stories! WE all have some great stories to share! Do you want to learn about Los Angeles and the U.S.? I can answer all your questions and no, LA isn't accurately portrayed in films.
