ABOUT ME

I've spent the past year honing my tolerance for spicy food, that is, while teaching English in South Korea, and I am ready to embark on culinary adventures throughout Asia!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about CS back in 2009 when I was studying abroad in Berlin. Some friends of mine visited Copenhagen and raved about their host. He'd gone fishing the day arrived and returned home with a gigantic fish and proceeded to whip up a grand meal for everyone to enjoy! I can't wait to have these spontaneous, memorable moments with other CSers.
