ABOUT ME

I was living in Korea, and decided to take a trip after 15 months there. I traveled from Japan to Ireland by land and sea, then returned to Korea. Now I am leaving again to explore more of Asia I worked as a journalist, delivery driver, event planner, and tutor before i left for asia. Eventually I want to know a little about everything and be an expert in nothing. Currently i'm a nurse practitioner student at Johns Hopkins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Tell everybody I can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have stayed with a few people in Latvia, Poland, Mongolia, and Russia, India, and have had a great time. They were very friendly and helpful. This site has been great.

Interests

name it, I guess. But recently, the great plains, hiking, and new food. Also love music of all kinds, but recently listening to 70s psych rock, old country/folk, death metal, and soul music. Ive been cooking a lot of korean food and recently hooked up my old sega genesis, so there's that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have been reading travel novels and Sci Fi as of late, but just finished a good Irish spy novel and a book about olympic rowing. Listening recently to Sam Cooke, Sir Lord Baltimore, Albert King, Debussy, Zounds, The Sword, Frank Zappa, Temptations, and Etta James.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

climbed mt fuji, published some writing, saved a life, seen elephants have sex, hiked the great wall (amazing? or great?), fed a crocodile, performed music, ridden and/or eaten a camel, horse, elephant, dog, ostrich, donkey, and dolphin and hated all of it

Teach, Learn, Share

Some emergency medicine. Ive tutored in a few different science subjects. I have taught writing and English. I would like to learn history, and the location of a good mountain and restaurant. I can teach basketball and soccer to people who are not as good as me. I want to learn why other people think differently.
