ABOUT ME

I studied business Finance and Economics, got a job and hated it. . In February of 2012 I packed up my life and moved to South Korea to teach English, which proved to be one of the best decisions I could have made, and probably changed the rest of my life. I spent two amazing years teaching in a small town in central Korea and then took off for what was supposed to be "5 months in SE Asia". I somehow turned that into what's closing in on 11 years in Asia. Between traveling, volunteering and teaching Couchsurfing has always been an integral part of my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to look back in 20, 30 or 40 years and talk about the things I wish I had done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Gracing people with my presence from couches to beds and sometimes floors across the world :) Preparing to host in Jeju - it's still a dream that I'm living here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing has introduced me to some awesome people and provided me with unique, unforgettable travel experiences.
