About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Move back to Seoul, learn Korean, learn Swedish, get job, get couch, get couchsurfers.

ABOUT ME

Hmmm, well, I love people, interesting creatures that help you learn and laugh, (two of my favorite things to do). I am a very easy going guy, and am at my happiest when I am meeting new people, seeing new places, and having new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for laughing and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I accidentaly couchsurfed in Pai at the home of an amazing person who built it herself. I met her buying a fruit shake, and she hosted a birthday party for one of my best friends who I am traveling with. I slept on her couch, and the next day the conversation turned to couchsurfing, so here I am.

Interests

People, travel, music, books, and a load of other things.

  • books
  • partying
  • traveling
  • music
  • guitar
  • boxing

Music, Movies, and Books

This is difficult. I love all kinds of music and books, and I love being introduced to artists and writers I have never come across.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a list of these experiences, but not very many I could describe in a box. I guess my most recent is seeing the Northern Lights in Tromsö, Northern Norway, with some very good friends. (all guys I met traveling)

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar well enough to teach a beginner, but would also be keen to have some lessons from anyone who could teach me something new. I would also like to learn more Korean and Swedish, and can help people who are learning English.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Greece, Norway, South Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom
