About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

(I live in Cleveland, USA now. I just logged in for the first time in like 8 years. Would be willing to host again.)

Trying to cut back on holding up those two Asian fingers in every single photograph. It was my new year's resolution to try to take a normal picture, but it failed miserably. I seriously can't stop doing it.

Unfortunately, I've spend the last year getting cancer treatment from many wonderful Belgian nurses and doctors, so I have been unable to host, though I'm starting to host again as of July 2018.

I'm the kind of person who almost never gets angry. I try to keep things light at all times, and it's nearly impossible for me to be serious or mean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just relocated to Brussels, and this is my first time in my life where I'm in a situation where I'll be able to host people. Excited to host and meet travelers now that I'm getting settled into my apartment.

I prefer to host guests who plan on staying two nights or more, as hanging out, meeting people from around the world, and getting a chance to be a tourist in my own town are the most fun parts of being a couchsurfing host. When you send a message, please let me know what kinds of things you would like to do while you are here.

Interests

Cooking, eating, and drinking. Korean, sushi, other Asian food, Indian, oysters, spicy food, cheese, food with cheese on it. Come over and I'll make you some Korean food, because that's generally what people want when they come to Belgium.

I'm constantly working to improve my French.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Elliott Smith, Andrew Bird, Of Montreal, Regina Spektor, Band of Horses, Rilo Kiley, Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire, Franz Liszt.

For the last three years I have tried to only read or watch things that are in French. I just finished a book called "Phobos" which I think is meant for 14 year old French girls.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are a serious beer connoisseur and are coming to Belgium to try beers here, let me know, because I'm still learning and love drinking beer with someone who can explain what's going on in their head as they are drinking good beer.

If you aren't a beer connoisseur, then that's totally fine too. We can just drink a bunch of it anyway.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun conversations with almost zero chance of stress. Also, we can take a picture together with Asian fingers.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland
