About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a pretty active guy who enjoys long-distance running and rock-climbing. I'm currently a nurse, but I'm working on getting back into the field of marriage and family therapy. I enjoy talking with people and helping them navigate some of life's problems. Naturally empathetic, caring, and optimistic. Still single and hoping that will change when the timing is right, haha :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason I got on here is because I used to live in Korea from 2013-2017 and haven't back since. I plan on going back next January 2026 and am hoping to save on travel expenses! A good friend of mine told me about couchsurfing, and I thought it could be a fun way to travel :) I look forward to meeting some interesting people and making new memories!
