About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat my weight in kimbap.

ABOUT ME

I have poor sleeping habits (re: I don't get enough sleep ever). My general MO has been described as "chill" and "go-with-the-flow", and I would tend to agree. I love new things and new people (though that's not to imply anything of old things or old people). On any given day, I'm running about ten minutes late -- for this, I apologize in advance.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever I have a place long enough that has a couch. Never had a bad experience couch surfing!

Interests

Head-to-toe fleecewear, brunch, design, Korea. Also, I watch horrible movies (I've seen Twister more times than I'd like to admit) and I sometimes (always) cry at sappy parts.

Music, Movies, and Books

My heart belongs to JD Salinger and Dave Eggers. Current music obsession: The Civil Wars. For some reason, I love football movies? But who doesn't love Rudy....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Campo de Fiori, cupfuls of wine, boys in pink shirts, a megaphone, and a dozen choruses of "Sweet Caroline."

New Orleans Jazz Fest and dismantling Amy's car.

Blueberry moonshine and Honey's Cream Pies.

Redwoods.

And, most recently (and frequently): watching the sunrise from the window of a norebang.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basic rules of volleyball, how to make a mean grilled cheese sandwich, and various methods of sneaking food into places where one is not allowed to have food.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Philippines, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, South Korea, United States
