About Me

I'm a tall goofy guy who enjoys travelling and meeting new people. I currently live and work as a teacher in South Korea but I'm planning to travel to Germany for a masters degree in the future.
I'm:
-active and always down for a pickup or backyard game of just about any sport
-total shit at video games and don't know the first thing about League of Sims, GrandTheftStarCraft, whatever it is you kids are playing these days
-Love Ultimate Frisbee
-Open to almost any food except fish (I feel a strong spiritual connection to Flounder from the little mermaid)

Generally a funny guy who's up to explore and see the interesting and unique aspects of different cities and countries around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm keen to explore and experience new cities with someone who knows the area and knows what's worth seeing and doing besides what the travel guides say. I'd also be thrilled to make some new acquaintances and friends abroad and to host people as well.
