ABOUT ME

I'm not loud, but very open-minded and friendly. I like to meet new people and try new things. I sometimes move really quietly and unintentionally scare people, and sometimes look lost for no particular reason. Apart from that I'm good.

PHILOSOPHY
Be brave enough to change what you can, mature enough to accept what you can't, and wise enough to know the difference between the two.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to meet new people, explore new places, and try new things. I've been to a lot of places around the world and would love to see more of it and make friends everywhere I go--and I think couchsurfing is perfect for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent three weeks in a remote village in the mountains in Timor Leste doing volunteer work. The weeks weren't long, but it left me with a deep impression and a dozen awesome new friends.

On my last vacation with my family, I saw water buffaloes wading through a mangrove swamp in the sunset. It was awesome. Later that day we saw fireflies and one landed on my hand. It was even more awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Korean, origami, and how to bend your hand into weird shapes.
I can share a lot of stories and my collection of very nice films and music.
