I grew up in Texas and graduated with a business degree from Texas A&M university in 2012. I then moved to the Los Angeles area and worked for a year in the aerospace industry. It was a lot of fun I surfed, camped, went bouldering all the time. But after a year I got fed up with sitting behind a computer screen all day and bein surrounded by fake egotistical people (myself included.) so I quit my job and moved back home to work at a Mother Teresa Homeless shelter and got hired on as a case worker working to get people with mental disabilities aid and housing. Also I just to love people on a one on one level and to show the, their dignity as a human being. I've traveled around quite a bit doing this type of work in New York City and Toronto area. I also give my time to work in juvenile systems and prisons with teens to show them that true happiness is available to them all it takes is setting aside time daily to pray, reflect, and be real with yourself and of course a ton of self-motivation. I mentor a lot of teens as well who aren't in such tough situations. I have a somewhat rough past so this is how I try to give back in friendships and public speaking. I realize how truly blessed I am today being gifted today with good health, a sound mind, and fulfillment/true joy. I don't want to waste away my opportunities and talents in selfishness anymore.
I've been in the mokpo/gwanju area for a few days and then goin to Seoul for ten days. I'm lookin to get to know the cities and meet new people! Hopefully you can host me 😃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends told me it's fun and I'm on a tight budget. I'm also quite extroverted and enjoy deep conversations and hearing new ideas.
