About Me

I'm currently working as an English teacher in Busan. Unfortunately, my studio apartment is way too small to host Couchsurfers, however, we can hang out and I can show you around.

I also have two pairs of rollerblades, so if rollerblading is your thing, let's rollerblade! They are size 280cm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's face it, people who love to travel and connect with total strangers and/or people who open up their homes to total strangers are the best people in the world. We all seek 'genuine' human interactions and 'authentic' experiences, and for me, that involves meeting open-minded locals and/or open-minded expats who know the local area.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do poi (the performance art. Some people do it with fire; I'm not bold enough to try that. So if you'd like to learn poi, I'll be happy to teach you some tricks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from compelling conversations and my scintillating sense of humor, I'd be thrilled to hang out and I'm up for all kinds of activities, I guess it comes down to mutual interests. My goal is to have a good time whether it's doing something relaxing or adrenaline pinching. I am also happy to help out with household chores, shared meals, etc.
