About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Experience life---travel to new places, make new friends, see old friends and strive to improve professionally and personally.
ABOUT ME
I'm a friendly, easy going guy. I grew up in Los Angeles, California my entire life until I studied abroad in Europe in 2005 and worked abroad in Korea from 2006 to 2008. That was really the beginning of my travels and adventures.
I'm absolutely addicted to traveling and exploring new cultures, and with any given time or opportunity I look forward to traveling to new places or visiting friends in familiar places. I first became involved with CouchSurfing when I was living in South Korea from 2006 to 2008.
