Hiya, I'm back home in Colorado now.

I used to teach abroad in Japan for a year and South Korea for 2 years.

I hope to travel around a bit and maybe participate in some events.

Unrelated but do you ever watch a health documentary right after eating a salad for the first time in months and feel weirdly smug about it? That's a thing I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to be involved in events and meet locals where ever I travel. I'd also like to offer up my place when i can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Cabin in the Woods because I like horror comedies and Harold and Maude because I like when elderly women get to score with young men.

Music: Most of it.

Some writers I like: Margaret Atwood, Roxanne Gay, Dave Eggers, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 3rd day in Korea (the first country I traveled to outside the U.S. ), I went on a spontaneous road trip with a stranger, hiked up the largest mountain on the South Korean peninsula, and went rock climbing for the first time. All with complete strangers. I could have easily been murdered several times.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I know a lot of useless information. I was a walking imdb before that was invented.

Learn: Useful information.

Share: humiliating stories.
