ABOUT ME

I'm an ESL teacher in South Korea looking to make the most of my time here exploring the region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Same as usual, really - looking for people to meet and places to crash whilst traveling about the continent. Also willing to offer my own floor if any one has a desire to visit Seosan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My happiest travel memory to date would have to be taking a bike "pilgrimage" to the-middle-of-nowhere in Belgium to drink the coveted Westvleteren 12, a Trappist Ale rumored to be the best beer in the world. Almost as worth it for the bike trip as it was for the beer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a lifelong musician - while I know my way around both a fretboard and a keyboard, I consider my real strengths to be theory and composition. These days, I mostly focus on electronic production (i.e. laptop music). This is one area where I'd be especially interested in swapping notes - but I'm always down for an impromptu jam session.

Also, I'm fascinated by languages - I'm a native English speaker and near fluent in German (a bit rusty now for lack of practice). I've dabbled in Italian, and am currently working on Korean. I'm interested in learning just about any others, especially European.
