I am an Oregonian with a travel bug. I left the safety and security of a good job to see the world. The vacation time wasn’t cutting it; I had just enough time off to fly home to visit family. After two years of traveling, I taught English in Korea. Now I live in Eugene! I graduated with a degree in Wood Science and Engineering (Renewable Materials) and worked at a chemical company just south of Raleigh. When I lived in Raliegh, I was involved in the Couchsurfing community, attending events, hosting events and hosting fellow Couchsurfers.

Una cosa increíble que he hecho
In August 2017 I left my job of three years and took a road trip through the United States, ending in Oregon in early November. From there, I flew to Asia for six months. Since then, South America, Europe...now I live in Busan!
Lo que puedo ofrecer a los hosts
I live in a lively residential area of Busan. It is very central: The beach, subway and many cool places to eat are very close.
Mis intereses
All things food! I love cooking, trying new restaurants/food carts and keeping up a generally healthy diet. I like to stay active; running, hiking, yoga, and strolling through a city. Traveling, of course!
