CURRENT MISSION

To strip away layers and build a pure foundation. To listen and to learn. To laugh when somber tendancies might urge me to be silent.

ABOUT ME

David and I have settled in Seoul after spending four years with a traveling drama ministry. We are so glad to be in one place, but as the love of travel is always with us, this site seems like an excellent opportunity to explore that interest. We enjoy hosting and getting to know new people, so feel free to stop by. We're Christians, but we like to think of ourselves as the groovy kind, not the frightening sort. We look forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Instead of talking about doing good GET OUT THERE AND DO GOOD. Act as stewards of the Earth. Listen. Above all, if you find that you have been blessed, be a blessing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm interested in hosting, and in someday surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No official experience. However, when we were with the Covenant Players (the drama ministry that I keep mentioning), we stayed in a new home/hostel/church youth room every few nights, for four years. We used to joke that we were professional guests.

Interests

I am a vegetarian. I love children's books, Shakespeare, history, and tomatoes. I take voice lessons. I've been skydiving, and someday I'd love to meet my mysterious German relatives, so if anyone out there has the last name "Grewer", let's chat!

David loves art, puzzles, reading, and soccer (though he hasn't played in a while). He says that all he wants to do is to be married to me forever (he actually said that just now!).

The two of us met when I was thirteen. We were married five years ago, and agree that marriage is the greatest adventure out there.

Music, Movies, and Books

A few of my favorites:
1. The Little Prince
2. Descent into Hell
3. Romeo and Juliet (I know, I know...)

I love singing around the campfire, Flight of the Conchords, and Simon and Garfunkel.

Movies:

I am a bit obsessed with film, so I watch several movies a week if I possibly can. Interests are eclectic, but here are a few of my all-time favorites (this is where I reveal my complete lack of taste):

1. Billy Jack
2. Love Story
3. Legend
4. The Fall

David loves:
1. The Screwtape Letters
2. The Kushiel's Dart series
3. Flatland

He enjoys listening to anything composed by John Williams.

Favorite films:

1. Fight Club
2. The Last Samurai
3. Anything Star Wars
4. Anything Lord of the Rings
5. Anything Harry Potter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. An eight year old epileptic from South China, playing on the slide for the first time in her life after missionaries worked to get her the medication that she needed to begin functioning normally.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm. I could help with lesson planning, audition prep, or Shakespeare explication. Also I seem to have a knack for coaching people through break-ups. David could help you with web design, animation, or drawing. He is also a pretty laid back person to have a conversation with. He frequents a debate site, and this year they named him "Most Civil Debater". I thought that was neat.
