CURRENT MISSION

Retire early and see the world along the way and after!

ABOUT ME

I'm an American English teacher enjoying life in Masan, South Korea! People always assume I'm very outgoing and adventurous for moving to the other side of the world, but I'm more reserved than that. I'm respectful of others, friendly, and have an easy time talking to almost everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to celebrate the everyday joys in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to get recommendations for things to do and eat, but perhaps one day I'll be courageous enough to try staying with a host.

Interests

I'm very domestic and enjoy baking, cooking, cleaning (yes, really!), watching my favorite TV shows, snuggling cats, and reading good books. I'm also on the path to early retirement, so being frugal is important to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie, classical, jazz, and all sorts of other music that has a good beat or melody. I read mostly fiction and have no snobbery toward excellent popular culture artifacts like Harry Potter ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Viewing the Busan Fireworks Festival from a 13th-floor apartment, front and center. This festival is always PACKED, but I was able to escape the crowds and get an even better vantage point!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make homemade flour tortillas :-D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help cook and clean, as well as play board games!
