Hi, I'm Nkauj (pronounced as Gao). I'm from California, but I've been living in various parts around South Korea for the last 5 years. I teach English to adorable elementary aged kids. I'm very respectful and considerate of others. I enjoy living a simple life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel alone, but as an introvert, I find it hard to meet people during my travels. I've stayed at hostels, but I don't particularly enjoy the hostel environment (It's just not for me, unfortunately).
