ABOUT ME

Hey there. I'm an English teacher from the US. I've taught English in South Korea for two years and the Czech Republic for one year. Now I'm in LA.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think I'm open minded and I really enjoy learning about people such as how they live their lives and why they do the things that they do. I try to be as polite and understanding as possible at all times because I want to represent my country well. I also am a thrill seeker so I enjoy extreme sports and having lots of fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! Except for attending a few couchsurfing events in Seoul and Prague. I hope to have some more experiences soon.

Interests

I'm interested in traveling, living abroad, and making contacts all over the world. My hobbies are skiing, bboying, baseball, reading books, discovering new music/movies, trying different kinds of foreign food at restaurants, and of course hanging with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a college student in Pittsburgh I witnessed 2 major street riots that had to be put down forcefully by police. The first was for an American Football championship victory and the second was for the G20 Riots. I never had any desire to participate in these riots but out of pure curiosity I watched them from a distance and even got a whiff of some tear gas during the G20 riots (terrible stuff). I saw a lot of crazy things during those riots.

From a travel perspective, it was being in Japan and hiking up a remote mountain temple as it began to snow near the top. This was a highlight for me. That trip was pure magic!
