I joined CS in 2011. My profile does not reflect all of the people I have hosted and met during "meetups". I've hosted more than 60 people (many reviews reflect groups of travelers).

I've lived in four states (west coaster) and taught ESL in Seoul for two years. I have been to 30 countries and plan to continue exploring this floating chunk in space.

Happy to give tips or meet up for cultural or nature related things. As for hosting, I can fit 1-2 surfers in my studio.
