ABOUT ME
Hi, I am Isaiah! I live in Laguna Beach, CA. I am a lifelong learner and seeker. I grew up primarily in the midwest and California. I read and study social culture and identity in application to the greater community. I work in sales and help manage a Subaru store.

I enjoy traveling! I'm always coming up with new spots I want to go and explore. There is adventure in the everyday. I've lived in the east coast for a number of years. I've always been intrigued by Europe and western European culture. My family has a very strong Korean background so I am very familiar with east asian culture and am studying Hangul if you'd like to help me along

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in truth

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I began when I wanted to surf in Turkey; I've always wanted to see Istanbul. I loved the experience and have since hosted on occasion as well. I've only been to a few CS group events in my area here
