I'm an English teacher in South Korea and I've been living on Jeju Island, South Korea for three years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like everyone else here: I love to travel, meet new people, swap stories and travel ideas/tips, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once outran a herd of Mongolian yak in the middle of the night with my pants down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play piano and sing, cooking, writing, photography, and making little videos from time to time.
If you like any or all of those things, there are lots of things we can share/talk about.

If you're visiting me here in Jeju, I know where all the great attractions are (restaurants, bars, museums, etc.) and would be happy to help you get there and show you how to use the bus apps/maps. And if I'm not working, we can hop in my car and I'll take you there myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, so if we've got time (and the ingredients I need are available in your country), I'll make you some Southern style American grub :)

I also love playing piano and singing so if you're down for playing some music together, I'd love that!
