Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One, because through Couchsurfing I've met so many amazing people and made so many memories that I cherish. Two, I think a meaningful life consists of being kind and generous to/for others. Or at least I think it's an important part of it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing the generosity and beauty of humanity through opening myself to Couchsurfing and hitchhiking. These experiences force me to let go of comfort and control and trust in the good that is left in this world. And it is in this space of vulnerability and terror where I grow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Korean and a bit of Spanish. Maybe something about piano. Graphic design & hand lettering. Some Korean cuisine. I'm also a nurse. You could ask me medical advice if you have any :p
