Graduated from college in '15. Been jumping around every several months since then, mostly as a teacher -- once on a sailboat teaching environmental education (I wanted to get paid to learn how to sail!) -- another time at a middle school via AmeriCorps. Finished a year teaching English in Korea, now have spent half a year in Canberra. Looking to do some traveling in Australia before I head back to the states!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like traveling and meeting new people, seeing parts of a city I wouldn't be able to see.

兴趣

I'm really into writing, reading, music (both listening & making), going out and about, dancing, spending time in nature. I'm also into fitness and nutrition, but definitely one of those people who knows way too much about it but then fails to live up to it, lol. I like cooking and also trying new foods. Living in Korea was amazing for that! I love the outdoors and am definitely hoping to be near the ocean while I can here in Australia.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: It changes all the time. I'm really passionate about music and could talk about it for hours, and also make it when I have time.

Movies: I enjoy 'em, whether it's a stupid comedy or something more thoughtful. One of my faves is the 2011 version of Jane Eyre. So lush and mysterious and menacing and yearning.

Books: A mix of comfort reads and complicated, ~emo~ literature.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've sought out a lot of weird and interesting things, so it's hard to limit it to just one. I'll list a few:

- met my biological family in Korea after nineteen years apart
- conducted research on entrepreneurship education in Kigali, Rwanda
- lived & worked on a sailboat
- got funding to go on a road trip to Area 51 to write a novella about aliens + critical race theory

教，学，和分享

I write, play five instruments, sing, draw portraits -- but I think my main skills are just that I observe a lot, I always try to have interesting conversations with others, and get along as best I can with a broad range of people. I usually can find the fun, weird parties, I have a wide range of friends and interests, and like planning outings.
