About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out my life and have fun

ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher in South Korea, but I want to do something else with my life. I'm studying illustration, animation and 3d modeling so that I might become an indie animator/comic illustrator.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm chasing a spark

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host or try to help couchsurfers whenever possible, and have couchsurfed with a few people while traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Singapore and Korea and I've hosted several people at my place in Jeju. So far it's all been good, and I wish I could do it more often.

Interests

I like music, books, art, history, and modern and ancient languages. These days I spend a lot of my free time studying about foreign languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't think of anything right now that has left me awestruck. That's kind of sad, isn't it? I want to be awestruck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study foreign languages in my spare time. I'm always trying to learn more about education and the process of becoming multi-lingual.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could tell you stories, maybe?
