Hello everyone! I'm Shante. I'm an American currently living in South Korea working as an English teacher. I've been in Korea for a little over 3 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's seems little scary, but I've always wanted to do it. IT seems like a great way to meet local people where ever I am.

Interests

Music, Reading, Norebang ( that what Koreans called Karaoke ) , watching TV ( Jessica Jones, Dr.Ken, Scandal, -to name a few.) And traveling of course!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Move abroad to South Korea. I was excited but of course extremely nervous and scared. But I'm so glad that I did it.

2) Travel alone and talk to strangers. Of course lots of people travel alone, but I wasn't one of them until I split with my friend unexpectedly during a trip. I ended up getting stalked by a tuk tuk driver (I can tell you about that later), but I got the courage to ask someone for help. To make a long story short, speaking to absolute complete strangers has given me so much insight and knowledge about the world and how others think and perceive things. Some conversations have been enlightening and others have left me disappointed in humans, but it's still an amazing opportunity to have.
