I'm a University professor in Seoul. I live in a small but decent place with a spare bed. My place is near Yonsei East gate/Ewha back gate area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had roommates for the past 3 years but decided to try this site after my last roommate moved back home at the end of 2015.

Interests

I enjoy Brazilian jiu jitsu, salsa dancing, watching movies, and playing guitar badly. ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I like anything rock, punk, and some country and folk. As far as movies go I like anything thought provoking and hard to predict. Unfortunately, as an academic I read a ridiculous amountof non-fiction so I don't read a lot for pleasure anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a tie. 1/ I have watched the sunrise over Angkor Watt. 2/I have spent New Years Eve on a boat on Haoloong bay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about Korea and Seoul. I can also help with Korean language. I can't be available all day everyday but I can help plan trips and hang out after work/study.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of my travels. Insights from my field. My sense of humor about life in general.
