CURRENT MISSION

Find a job in LA. Play more beach volleyball (and improve my game)!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing, calm, quiet person.

Have always been into sports, which lately has been a lot of running and beach volleyball in the summer, and snowboarding in winter.

I'm certified as an Art Teacher but taught English and History in South Korea.

PHILOSOPHY

Always trying to be a better person than yesterday. It's better to try and fail than to never try something and regret it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I initially joined so I could crash at other people's places and meet cool people. I also would love to host, but do not currently have a place where I can do so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Well my job is teaching English and History, so that. I can also teach some volleyball as well. :)

Learn: I love to learn about anything! I'm really interested in other cultures, History, Psychology, Art, and there is so much to learn about each of these subjects

Share: I love sharing stories, both telling them and listening to them. And I'm sure I have much more to share (and that everyone does too). Also, sharing food is good too.
