CURRENT MISSION

Sorting out my travel plans to Kansas for my couple friend's wedding!

ABOUT ME

I've been described as having a calm, relaxed demeanor, I'm inclined towards the arts and the creative process, more of a tea-drinker than a coffee-drinker, and I can uproot trees with my bare hands.

PHILOSOPHY

Your life is a grand compendium: How will you fill the pages?

Embrace your inner child, and never let him (or her) die. Preserve that unabashed sense of wonderment in us all.

The first jump is always the hardest, but the most everlasting. Each subsequent leap is forever made effortless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

That strand of fate that you follow... entangle me in it as well. And vice-versa.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Journeying to Iceland, a country I've always aspired to visit, incited a chain of events that led me to not only to teaching English in South Korea, but afforded me the privilege of journeying to Japan, which was truly a dream come true.

I continue to live my days with no regrets, and the best has yet to come!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It all started in a temple village on Mt. Koya... if we ever get chummy perhaps I'll indulge you some time.
