Easy going traveler who has a lot of interesting stories to tell :)

Bio hasn’t been updated since 2018 as this is my first time on since then (Sept 2022)

I lived in Prague since the end of July 2016 and was teaching English there until I moved to Korea for a year of teaching in August 2017.

I'm about to finish my year of teaching at an elementary school in Korea, and while it was an important experience, I'm ready to move on. I will be traveling in Japan for a month from September 5th-October 9th. For two of these weeks I'll be working on an organic farm near Kyoto, so I will be out of CS commission :)

If you're interested in practicing your English with me, I'm here for you (maybe)

I want to meet some Japanese locals because that may be a challenge when I stay in hostels and such.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new friends and interesting characters wherever I go.
