I have a degree in mechanical engineering. My most recent job was R&D in medical devices. Now I'm unemployed (by choice).

I finished college and worked as an engineer for a couple of years. Then the whole work thing got not-so-fun and I decided to quit and do what I like to do, which turned out to be rock climbing. I moved into my van. Everything I owned was in that car. It was my house on wheels. I tried to set camp as close to the rocks as possible, and climb as many days as I could. Then I ran out of money, so I went back and got a job. After another couple years of working, I've saved enough to travel again. So I'm back on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed before. I was in a shared apartment so it was a little difficult to host. Now I'm traveling again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfed through Europe during the summer of 2008 and 09. Hosted every now and then when available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

La Tomatina 2008

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I'm now good enough a rock climber to teach an intro class on the basics of climbing - boulder, top rope, sport(lead).

I'd like to learn trad climbing and some big wall climbing.

For what it's worth, I'm fluent in Korean.
