COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couch-surfed in Korea during the summers of 2013 and 2014. These were great experiences.
Interessi
Everything. But especially the Korean language. Right now learning Korean is my favorite activity. I also enjoy talking to strangers, visiting museums, and walking around in unfamiliar places.

Musica, film e libri
Some of my favorite writers, dead or alive, are: Faulkner, Hemingway, Beckett, Celine, Dorothy Allison, Leon Rooke, James Purdy, Raymond Carver, Barry Hannah, Mark Richard, Lee Munyol, Tom Franklin, Larry Brown, Harry Crews, Flannery O'Connor, Joy Wiliams, Harold Brodkey, Paul Bowles, Eugene Marten and James Agee.
All movies by Kim Ki Duk. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a movie that is always good, no matter how many times you watch it. I also never tire of The Joy Luck Club. I like scary movies and smart movies and action-adventure movies. I saw a Korean movie called Time that I thought was great. I have been watching Korean dramas to help learn Korean. My favorites are Glass Mask, Queen of Ambition, The Snow Queen, May Queen, and The Innocent Man.
Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
I climbed Thunder Mountain barefoot. This is a mountain in Juneau, Alaska, where I lived for three years. I lived in Mexico for two years as a child. Have traveled through Europe. Performed music in many bands. I shook Jimmy Carter's hand. I saw the pope in Rome.
Insegna, impara, condividi
I can teach you a lot about English, as well as songwriting and guitar, how to write effective cover letters for jobs. I am good at Adobe Photoshop, and can show you how to manipulate photos to do whatever you want in them. I am serious about learning Korean, so every little bit of help is appreciated.
