About Me

Been an English teacher in South Korea for several years and have had some amazing opportunities to travel the globe! Used couch surfing quite a bit during my university days but hoping to get back into the community after some encouragement from friends!

Will be doing a big round the world trip starting in 2018 so if anyone has recommendations for South Asia and South America, would love to hear them!

Hobbies include travel (of course), food, hiking, SCUBA, adventure sports, photography, making new friends, following current affairs, hip hop music and generally just trying to make the most out of every day. Would love to make new friends and swap travel stories over some delicious coffee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used the site a few times during my university days but now hoping to connect with people yet again and when I'm not traveling, host people in Seoul!

Interests

A good road trip, trying strange food, social advocacy/justice issues, a good conversation, humor, unexpected adventures, listening to people's life stories (seriously, it's so interesting), life in general!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to think I can offer some wonderful conversation and if not, a hearty laugh or two! Very into trying new places to eat so if you need a food buddy more then happy to come along! Also I'm really into photography (very amateur haha) but if you want any nice photos, I'm your guy!
