About Me

I'm a quiet guy. I like video games and reading. I'm hoping to be an English teacher in Korea next year. I've really taken an interest in languages. It hit me a bit late though, and thanks to xenophobic American education, I was only taught English in high school and I study some French at uni. My level is decent? I dunno what to say about myself...

My first time exploring the world was 2013 when I went on a month trip to Germany. I always wanted to travel, but could never afford it. Waiting to have money took too long, so I decided to go in debt to fulfill my dream! Now I want to see the rest of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanted to see the Fête des Lumières in Lyon. I had a room I was going to pay for, but he backed out on the day prior :( In my desperation, I turned to couchsurfing. Well, it was too short notice for that to really work either... But after seeing how it actually works I'm willing to try it again!

Music, Movies, and Books

Victorian literature!
Russian novels!

I really love Lindsey Stirling. She's shaped my music interests more towards classical, orchestral pieces. Other than that, just your usual rock and metal stuff. Nine Inch Nails, Judas Priest, etc.

Don't really watch movies or television in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The biggest accomplishment for me is leaving the US.

Teach, Learn, Share

English?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hmm what can I offer? I dunno. Hugs? I'm big on respect, so if anything I won't make you hate the experience. I'm an easygoing guy, generally interested in anything. I like to stay happy and positive. Maybe friendship? If we really click, once I get a place of my own (likely in Korea), I can host you too.
