CURRENT MISSION

Hitting the emerald isle

ABOUT ME

I'm from outside Chicago and Joon's from LA. We met while living abroad and decided to walk life's path together. Our current home base in in Illinois and we travel every chance we get. Joon has been to the last three world cups and I've attended the last two. Continuing our shared passion for travel has led us down some interesting roads.

We are both very adventurous eaters and I have been a vegetarian for 16 years.

Joon is an educator and while I am a licensed educator I am currently employed in IT.

We both have degrees in traditional classroom education and have TEFL certs. I also have a degree in Outdoor Education.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is not passing through, it's passing into.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't yet - look forward to it.
Come stay with us! We'd love to host you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have both done it casually for years, but have not yet tried this project out for ourselves. Great idea extending it to the web.
