CURRENT MISSION

Eastern Europe summer 2011

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Busan, Korea since 2009, working at an international school. I teach world history and mass media classes. Will soon be teaching geography. I've traveled a decent amount in Asia, now I'm going further from here on my next travels. The plan is to stay in Busan for another school year or two, then move on to another international school on another continent. The expat life is a good life.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the dream

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined couchsurfing in 2011 to meet people and explore cities on my Eastern Europe summer 2011 backpacking trip. I am fascinated with meeting other world travelers, and enjoy showing them around town. It's great making new friends when they come to my city, or when I go to other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few of my good friends here in Korea have hosted many couchsurfers, and I've had a ton of fun with the people that have come through Busan.

Interests

Travel, reading, collecting music, seeing live music, politics, exercise, movies, documentaries, the internet, journalism (radio and music writing), hiking, camping, riding my scooter, hanging out at the beach, being social, joking and laughing. I also put a lot of time into my job, which means learning more and more about history and the media, and developing my teaching skills.
