Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I learned about this project I became instantly addicted because I love to travel and think this is an incredible idea because there are so many good, nice, fun-loving people out there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

London, England

Interests

Traveling, cooking and cycling are my 3 favorite things to do.Also, photography, art, football (soccer), fishing, camping, hiking, beach,, getting lost exploring a place I've never been to, everything outdoors pretty much. Love traveling to new cities around the world and meeting new people, learning their customs, and understanding their different way of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Italy and lived in Florence when Italy won the World Cup in 2006. Hands down the most incredible, memorable experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not too sure about this. I'm a fairly good fisherman and snowboarder. If anyone needs a lesson in one or the other or both, I'll be happy to lend a hand.

I'm going to teach English in Korea!
