CURRENT MISSION

To make each chapter better than the previous one.

ABOUT ME

Adventure over stability. As many friendships as I can pack into this life. I've been teaching English here in South Korea for nearly 3 years now. I teach Grade 2 at an immersion elementary school. I also own a theatre company here. We produce plays and donate our profits to the Gwangju International Center, which provides English services to other foreigners living here.

I love my life in Korea, in part because soon (after student loans are paid off) I'll be free to explore all of SE Asia, using this as a home base.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a jerk!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate in all aspects of couchsurfing. Because of my apartment type and schedule, I haven't had many guests yet, but I would really like to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people a couple of times, and met some couchsurfers abroad.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Looking down from high up on Mount Seoraksan. Jumping into the Artic Ocean. Night-biking in the far north, 10s of thousands of kilometers from civilization.

I'm a pretty experienced English teacher. I'm also very handy fixing computers. For learning, I would love to pick up some more cooking skills, especially learning to cook your local dishes.
