About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To traverse the world with my own two feet and constantly meet amazing, new people every step of the way

ABOUT ME

I am always looking for new and exciting adventures I can share with other people which also means that I am always open to making new friends wherever I go. I love sharing moments with my friends and family and what better way is there to make everlasting memories than traveling? I was born and raised in sunny Southern California all my life so nothing is more foreign to me than a change in climate. Ever since I joined the Boy Scouts of America, I knew my love for traveling, camping, and witnessing different cultures and environments would never be fulfilled. Even though I am no longer a part of the Boy Scouts of America organization, the enthusiasm and excitement of traveling still stays with me as I am currently studying abroad in the Netherlands and loving every second of my stay here.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to the fullest every day. I live to enjoy the world around me, the people around me, as well as the experiences I COULD become a part of everyday around me. I live for my family and my friends and nothing will ever change that. Live life so that you may not have any regrets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have much experience in the CS field but hopefully by spending a little time on the website and meeting new people around the world, I learn a thing or two and could also provide the same opportunities to others when I get the opportunity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't really had much CouchSurfing experiences, let alone hear of it until I actually got to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, a friend informed me of CouchSurfing and I was instantly interested and here I am now!

-Tennis, Basketball, Ping Pong, Long Boarding, Skating... I can go on forever!

Music:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Cambridge, England for a little over a month and it was by far the greatest time of my life.

My recent trip to Rome would be high up on my list of amazing things seen and/or done in my lifetime as well because I saw the ridiculously mind-blowing Colosseum, the Forum, as well as the PANTHEON. It was totally legit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my love of sketching, my extensive knowledge and passion for the Electro, Dubstep field of music, and my expertise in English and in Korean.

I would like to learn from other people their cultural tendencies including differences in everyday life, language, as well as values. Best food places to go wherever I go! This one is most important!
