CURRENT MISSION

It is possible to make a difference...just try.

ABOUT ME

I am from Northwest Wisconsin. I have lived in the country most of my life. I love to be next to nature, in all its glory. I studied at the University of Wisconsin. After Uni, I decided to teach in Korea or Japan. I ended up in Korea. Currently, I am teaching in Jeonju, South Korea. I will be here until December, 2011...or I will be heading back to the states to participate in AmeriCorps. Or Grad school. The sky is the limit.

PHILOSOPHY

The one who asks is a fool for a day, the one who doesn't, is a fool forever.

Just live your life and ask questions. If you don't get the answer you feel is right, keep asking questions until you find it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch that someone could use if you are visiting South Korea. Currently, I am in the traveling phase and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience. BUT, I am really excited to couchsurf and gain experience.

Interests

Sports: I love any sport, especially football and disc golf. I am a Green Bay Packers fan. I enjoy being outside and playing any sport with friends.

Traveling: I love to travel. During University, I got bit by the travel bug. I have been to China 3 times and now I am living in Korea. I cannot wait until I can travel more often.

Reading: Reading is one of my newest hobbies. I love having a book in my hands when I am relaxing. My favorite genres are history, memoirs, and fantasy. Recently, I am reading a great series by Patrick Rothfuss: The KingKiller Chronicles.

Languages: I really enjoy learning new languages. I have studied Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. I think I should have been a linguistics major.

Music: I have played the piano for 10 years and trumpet for 7. Music is part of my life.

I love hanging out with friends, video games, having a beer, running 1/2 marathons, snowboarding, concerts, backpacking, camping, hiking, etc.
