CURRENT MISSION

hopefully i don't end up being a 9-5 office drone. so i want to see what i can of the world while i can!!

ABOUT ME

Grew up in NYC and it's been called the best city in the world. I would agree, but I need to see other places to compare it to! I would say I'm friendlier than most. I don't like coformity, hypocrites, and douchebags. I respect individuality, creativity, intelligence and an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd host, but my job puts me in the countryside of Korea. If you want to travel 2.5 hours out of Seoul to see rice field, then that's a different story.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed at two different places in New Zealand and had a blast. The most amazing thing was eating homemade pizza for dinner and waking up to a pebble beach in the morning!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

starscape festival in baltimore
jisan valley rock festival, got to see muse and third eye blind
almost died on my scooter by going on the highway by accident...
tourists mistaking me for a parisian as i walked back to the hotel with a bottle of wine and loaf of bread in hand. luckily i understood "ou est?" and pointed them towards their destination of pigalle.
convincing cops/liquor stores that i was 25 and a little over six feet tall when i was 19 and actually 5'4.

new zealand is a magical place, and not just because of the creatures from middle earth.
