About Me

hi, i'm new to couchsurfing so i don't have any good references, but i'm told by my friends that i'm smart, funny and kind so you should take a chance on me. also, my keyboard is broken on my mac so i can't capitalize anything, and add the exclamation mark i'm imaging at the end of that sentence.

I'm currently teaching English in South Korea. I love to meet new people and see new places. I'm going to be in Europe from the 4th of October to the 9th of November with my little sister, so if you want to host us please contact me!

I'm friendly and easy-going. I love hiking, eating delicious foods and just seeing as much of everything as I possibly can. Also enjoy thrift store shopping, live music, dancing, drinks with friends, reading and books, talking about anything and everything, sharing information and just generally learning.

I'm an ambivert so I like about equal parts social time and quiet time.

I collect old and interesting books as well, so if you know somewhere in your city I can find those let me know. Also, I love postcards and interesting artwork. I am very imaginative and a little creative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly I want to meet local people, make some new friends, and have a unique experience.

I also think the backpacking/travelling community has some of the kindest, most generous and friendliest people I've ever met so to meet more of them around the world would be amazing.

I also really hope to host couchsurfers one day, currently I'm not in a position to do so, but as soon as I can I will! I want to see how others do it and if you want to come to my city one day I will hopefully host you!
