Don't want to say too much about myself for fear of pretentiousness. I am at that stage after graduation when roads are foggy with no signposts telling me where to go. I don't even know where my destination is in the first place, so clear skies would not even help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet locals that can give me a less touristy perspective on their home city. Unfortunately I can not host at this moment, but would love to start doing so once I have my own place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked from Pusan to Seoul (in South Korea) in five days on a $60 bicycle. It was a distance of 600km and my knees hurt afterwards.
