Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Teach English in South Korea
ABOUT ME
I'm an American with an overdeveloped sense of adventure. I have gotten a job teaching at Sanggye ECC in Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea and shall be arriving there in mid September and will be living there for a year.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to the fullest and explore as much as possible. Anything is possible. Don't let your fears keep you from exploring new things and taking on challenges.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Once I get to Korea in mid September I'll be able to judge how I can best participate but I'd be willing to perhaps have someone crash on my couch - if I have one - and my futon - if I don't. I'd have to get to know them first, of course. but I'm not closed to the possibility. I'm also interested in finding people to explore South Korea with and some new friends considering I don't know anyone over there.
