ABOUT ME

I'm David and I lived in South Korea for 9 years and around San Francisco, California for 10 years. I love to travel, sightsee, and see what every city & country has to offer. For hobbies I like photography and biking. With my free time I usually like to go out and explore. My friends would say I'm adventurous and outgoing, although somewhat introverted.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love, love what you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly have surfed & met up with people. Hopefully host people once I start living somewhere for an extended period of time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome!

Interests

I'm passionate about international development and sustainability. For my primary college activity Engineers Without Borders, I traveled to Uganda twice and I really enjoy doing this kind of work with people abroad, not only to complete projects but also learn from the people there and have a more refined perspective on how to see the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of my "awestruck" moments come from incredible sights. For example, I still remember in Yellowstone we drove out from the hotel for 5 minutes into this remote place in the woods and when I looked up the entire Milky Way was glowing like a ginormous light show in the sky.
Another one of my favorites was climbing Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. After climbing this narrow strip of very tall rock/mountain you get to the middle of the canyon and it feels like you've reached the top of the world.
