I recently graduated from graduate school and love to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and have authentic experiences in the places I visit.

Some of my interests include writing poetry, painting, dancing, bicycling, hiking, and traveling. I have also been studying French and Korean. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

This list could get pretty long, but some of my favorite authors include Faulkner, K. Dick, Gaiman, Kunitz, and Bishop. I enjoy Indie, Folk, Blues, Swing, and Jazz music (in large part because I enjoy swing dancing so much).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw traditional fireworks in Angung, South Korea. They burn them from a string that is attached to two mountain tops and let the fire drip down over the river.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching English and swimming most of my life. I've been studying Korean and French for a while as well.
