Hi! I'm a comic artist from Columbus, Ohio, in the United States. I love learning new things and exploring new places. I grew up in Ohio and have lived since then in Washington DC, Korea, and Japan. I was a scrawny little kid and didn't really go outside much when I was little but I've been coming out of my shell as I've grown up, and I'm trying to be more active in all areas of life. I enjoy dancing (all urban styles and contemporary), reading, bouldering, taking walks in nature, that kind of stuff :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first solo trip to Europe was fun, but I was so lonely and bored a lot of the time! I want to explore places together with people who live there, and make new friends.
