About Me

I am currently living and working as an English teacher in Yanggu, South Korea. I decided to make the move from Boston last year because I really wanted to travel and see as much of the world as possible.
At first, being an English teacher was just a means to an end - I wanted to be able to travel and still be financially stable - but along the way I discovered that I really enjoy teaching. This will be my 2nd year teaching in Korea, and after I am hoping to continue my traveling adventures.

I'm a friendly, outgoing guy who loves learning new things, meeting new people, and having a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet new people and to try out what I suspect might be the more adventurous form of having a place to stay when traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most genres of music but I have always been in love with Hip Hop. I also enjoy the blues, classical, indie, rock, soul, funk, and R&B.
Being a fan of a nice pounding bass, there's nothing quite like some good EDM as well on occasion.

My friends consider me notorious for loving movies which they insist are terrible. Nevertheless, here are a few of my favorites.
Independence Day
Jurassic Park
Nacho Libre

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm scared of heights, but one of the first things I did when I came to Korea was go bungee jumping. It was only about 62 meters, nothing like those crazy ones in Dubai and New Zealand but still.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified English teacher! I will happily teach you what I know

I would love to learn more about:
*music production
*dj-ing
*cooking (especially a dish you consider to a great examply of your culture's cuisine)
*your take on life

What I Can Share with Hosts

HILARITY! I'm also usually carrying almonds around.
