CURRENT MISSION

Improve my Korean and Indonesian

ABOUT ME

I'm American but have been living in Korea (and occasionally Indonesia) since 2006.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a libertarian. I believe in live and let live without interference. I do my own thing and have my own code, but I'm not judgmental of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Despite having had an account for years, I haven't actually participated in CouchSurfing yet. I'd like to, though!

Interests

I change hobbies frequently. At times I'm an avid reader. At others I get into a Nintendo game kick. Sometimes it's TV shows. Other times it's basketball. For the past two years, though, my hobby has been learning Korean - I've gone from near zero to somewhat fluent in that time (through practice practice). Just last week I started a new hobby - learning Indonesian!
