I'm Jordan! I live in the north suburbs of Chicago. I was living in Seoul, South Korea for 2.5 years until moving back to the U.S. I loved being in Asia. I was teaching ESL and studying piano. Now that I am back in the U.S. I have continued teaching ESL online and I also have a few other part-time jobs. I am still fervently pursuing piano as a career, so you can find me practicing daily. My favorite composer these days is Ravel.

I like jazz, classical, blues, standards and contemporary music. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing experiences and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from around the world! I feel like I don't connect with one place, so I'm not really patriotic. Moreso, I like to travel and spend time relaxing in one place, meet locals and explore how my life could be if I lived there. I have lived in various states in the U.S., Costa Rica as an exchange student in college, and also South Korea a from 2016-2018.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still trying to fill this one in.

I think I could say right now what is always exciting is going somewhere unfamiliar, where I'm not a native and not having an agenda.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to practice your Spanish with me, I'd love to do that. I also enjoy cooking. So food is always wonderful to share!
