ABOUT ME

Until recently I was a humanities and writing teacher in Seoul. Now I'm a law student. The fact that I'm a first year law student means I probably won't be a very good host.
An interesting facts about me: I miss a lot of flights (30 at least).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed with some awesome people in Asia and the U.S. My experience with CS made my trips infinitely more rewarding--it was such a great way to travel. I have also hosted a couple of people in Seoul and had some pretty solid experiences with them as well.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode through the Colombian jungle on a horse in the middle of a tropical storm. An old Colombian cowboy kept smacking my horse with a whip to make it go faster, which would have been fun were we not on the side of a cliff going over slippery rocks. I also met Rafael Nadal. That was very exciting for me. One time in Oaxaca the police robbed me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair amount about Latin America, especially Bogota and Buenos Aires, so if you're traveling there or anywhere else in the neighborhood I can most likely hook a brother up with good recommendations.
I also really like languages. My Spanish is pretty snappy but I need to practice my French and Portuguese.
