CURRENT MISSION

Music!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and meet new people. Music is what I do and love. I love busking because I get to meet new people and share a musical experience with others with no strings attached. I have been playing guitar for a long time now and can play other instruments too. I love volunteering and working with people who are eager to learn because I love learning myself. Kids are really great because they look at the world as something fun and exciting and I do too.

PHILOSOPHY

Freewill!

Chief Seattle: Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tried to host for couch surfing when I lived in Korea but I don't think many people were interested in staying in the remote area I was in. However, my really close friends came to visit me and I think I showed them a great time.

I also made a map in cartography class devoted to couchsurfing! I want to send it to them sometime after putting some final touches on it.
