About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love God, Love People, Interact with people from all around the World!

ABOUT ME

I think that couchsurfing is such a great concept. I love meeting people from different cultures, traveling, and loving life! Adventure is something I try to do often! I taught English in China for almost 1 year, and through this I was able to travel not just in China, but Thailand, Cambodia, India, Japan, Hong Kong, and Macau. I am currently teaching English in Seoul, South Korea. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, His love for me gives me reason in life! Meeting people from other cultures, helps me see a greater glimpse of God and how big He is! My major in school was International studies! I think it is so much fun to interact with people from other cultures! I can be very silly, and love trying new things! I like to have fun!

PHILOSOPHY

Love others like Christ loved us, and gave Himself up for us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live at my school, so I cannot host, but if you are in Seoul, and want to meet up for coffee or something, shoot me a message. I am just now back on this after a long time, so I don't check too frequently, but love meeting people from all over the World!
