ABOUT ME
Ok, here goes...after graduating and struggling with those big 'life decsisions,' I somehow managed to find myself on the other side of the world, teaching English to the little kiddies of South Korea. That turned out to be the best decision I've ever made, and now I'm hopping around the globe, teaching the English, one country at a time. Current stop: Barcelona, Spain. As I say goodbye to Asia, and as my time here in Europe begins, I sit on the edge of my seat in anticipation of things to come.
I love snowboarding (addict), photography (amateur), big dogs, lame jokes, scrabble, crossword puzzles, reading, films, music, talking, listening, discussing, and anything--or anyone--that makes me go 'hmmm...'.
I hate humidity, mushrooms, and kiwi. And douchebags.
So there you have it folks. My life and me in a nutshell.
PHILOSOPHY
Home is where you feel comfortable pooping.
Truly.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I fell in love with CSing in Korea. I've hosted and hung out, but have yet to do any surfing. I feel a hostel-free European adventure coming on...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
How cool is it that there are enough of us out there to make this work? A project like this encourages like-minded people to connect, and I've hosted, hung out with, and formed life-long friendships with the coolest surfers.
Interests
Broadening my horizons (and those of others), winter, sports, winter sports, the arts in ALL forms, being active, and laughter. And your mom.

Everything, everything, EVERYTHING, with a special spot in my heart for Bill Bryson, Umberto Eco, Haruki Murakami, Wes Anderson, the Cohen Bros, Vivaldi, and Bossa Nova...
Teach, Learn, Share
