Overview
About Me
MISSION
Meet amazing, kind, fun travelers from around the world!
ABOUT ME
I'm a curious, creative, enthusiastic, queer, Korean-American Author, Freelance Copywriter, Holistic Voice Coach + Game Designer.
I've lived in South Korea, CA, TX, MN, IA, Chicago, IL, and I'm now living in rural, TN.
I have lived many experiences and overcome some unbelievable obstacles, and it has made me a better person ~ especially in the past year.
FOR HOSTS
I do my best to be a. considerate and clean guest. I am a non-drinker, non-smoker - and I like to cook.
Couchsurfing can be a nice way to connect with people, stay in unique homes, and learn more deeply about different people, countries, cultures, art forms, and foods.
PS I am a chocolate lover, and I have a goal to try chocolate from EVERY country in the world that has chocolate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Experiencing Gaudi's Casa Batllo in Barcelona ~ MAGICAL.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have 27 years experience teaching voice, 11 years experience teaching English, plus I've taught acting, improv, HTML, various computer software programs, and more. I love to teach.
One thing that I've learned, after my Dad died...
In any moment of life and acting, I can choose 4 things;
1. My Thoughts
2. My Feelings
3. My Actions
4. My Place
And, when we have choices, we have HOPE ~ and HOPE changes lives!
What I Can Share with Hosts
It depends: I could choose to a) bring one of my CDs to share, b) teach a voice lesson, c) surprise you
