About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finished a year of teaching English language to kindergarten and elementary students in South Korea, while I was also continuing my birth family search.

I've been taking the slow way home. Spent the last 5 months exploring Southeast Asia and Europe, and now I have 1 month to travel through Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland. Traveling is always more fun when you're with friends, so I hope to meet some new ones along the way!

ABOUT ME

If you like cooking, exploring, or talking over tea, we'll be best friends.

PHILOSOPHY

compassion
patience
high fives
and an appropriate amount of rage

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed a few times, but my experiences were amazing. I make a sincere effort to hang out, keep things tidy, show my overall appreciation for the sleeping space and camaraderie, and leave room for independent wandering.

Feel free to check out my friend Derek's instagram for photos of our travels: https://www.instagram.com/horizonsoblivious/

Interests

backyard gardening
substance-free living
crafting (mostly cross-stitching)
bike rides
meeting fellow Asian adoptees and swapping small-town horror stories of "otherness"
