About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Prolong the journey home as long as possible!
ABOUT ME
When I first left the safety of college I had no idea what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to go. I had a job as a Production Assistant in a company that focused on reality television shows. Turns out, it wasn't for me.
I quit my job and moved back home with my parents.
About a month in I got a job as a receptionist at a travel agency. Everyday I was booking cruises, and flights, for rich old people. I would stare at the brochures day in and day out, itching to go somewhere beautiful.
One day I came across an opportunity to teach English in South Korea and I jumped on it. I told my boyfriend my plan, he was on board, so we jumped together.
I have been living in South Korea for the past year now. Now, it's time to travel for as long as my budget will allow. :)
PHILOSOPHY
In the words of Dave Matthews, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted a few couch surfers in Korea and I was able to couch surf in Japan, Turkey, Austria, Slovenia, and Bosnia...so far!
Interests
I love, love, love watching movies. In addition to watching them, I love the process behind it.
I also love taking photographs, and writing. I think the two go hand in hand.
- writing
- drinking
- movies

Music, Movies, and Books
I could go on forever. But I wont.
Movies- Top 5- Moulin Rouge, The Goonies, Big Fish, Across the Universe, and The Sandlot.
Music- Top 5- Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews, Dispatch, Of Monsters and Men and Mumford & Sons.
Books- The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Harry Potter (all), Hunger Games (all), Biographies (anyone I find interesting) and often times, any book that has the potential to be turned into a film, or already has been.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Teaching English in South Korea. At first I went to South Korea for the adventure, the travel, the photographs. But after teaching these kids, I realize, this is why I'm here and I loved every second of it.
