CURRENT MISSION

Mission's to seek out new experiences and meet new friends from all over!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea, and I'm passionate about literature (especially poetry), film, music, and anything diverging from the norm. I like striking up random conversations and laughing uncontrollably.

I'm pretty new to traveling, too, but I'm stoked to have adventures around the world that I can learn from and remember and cherish in memory forever. Maybe even write about! New food I want to eat and new friends I want to meet and trade dreams with~~

PHILOSOPHY

"And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony again."

-Victor Shklovksy

...a quote which I wish I philosophized.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to participate by way of empathy. Tell me your earliest memory and I'll write a poem for you. Comedy's also beautiful--nothing beats laughter.
