I have lived and worked in South Korea for more than seven years. In 2010, I felt the love of God for the first time and gave my life to Him. I have tried to truly live out of His life in me ever since.

I'm friendly if a little shy sometimes. I try to respect others as I would like to be respected, and I try to appreciate the unique gifts, abilities, and joys that each person has in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

for adventure and the unknown!

Interests

I like to read, write, play the piano, and get to know people. I'm happy to talk about pretty much anything, but as an introvert, sometimes I just need some alone "recharging" time.

I really enjoy CrossFit, although I'm currently not in my best shape, and enjoy spending time outside.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read mostly non-fiction, but occasionally a novel. I'm a political news junkie and like to follow the headlines, but I'm not super opinionated about all that.

I enjoy classical music, especially Russian composers for some reason...Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rachmaninov.

My favorite novel of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, and while I like movies, I'm not sure if I have a favorite. Last movie that I saw that I really enjoyed was "Fury."

hiked through the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia.
