I'm living on Jeju Island, South Korea and have been for the better part of two years now. I figure I know the island pretty well now, and I'd like to help out any travellers who need some help with accommodation and activity advice in this part of the island.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to take part in this vibrant community, seems like a brilliant idea. I am an avid traveller and I've come to understand that any locale is that much more diverse and exciting when experienced with the help of a local, so I'd like to take part in the cultural exchange that's going on with the help of Couch Surfing.

Interests

I love music first and foremost. I am a recording musician, so I'm always keen for a jam.
Hiking, motorcycle rides, board games, pool and darts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like post rock and ambient music mostly, generally with a darker tinge. Classic rock and heavy metal, as well as more recent minimalist composers, its a little all over the map.
Love bands and composers like Sigur Ros, Earth, The National, C.C.R., Avro Part and Phillip Glass

My project is called Bitter Tree- check it out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode Bactrian camels through the semi-Gobi in Mongolia to a ger- in February. (-35)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about histories of places, cultural oddities and points of interest, new recipes, songs, languages and the like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you anything you want to know about the history of Western thought, at my driest. I like to teach guitar, cook, write and explore.
