I'm a single gay guy originally from the USA--Texas, South Carolina, Washington, and Florida. My family lives in Pensacola, Florida, so that's my home away from Korea. I love to travel and have lived in a few different countries around the world. My favorite places/cultures are Italy, the Canadian Rockies, Japan, and Germany.

I've lived in Korea for over ten years now and enjoy it. Currently my home is a small town in the center of Korea called "Chungju" (pictured above). It's a nice place with many rivers, lakes, and mountains surrounding it.

I play piano a lot in my free time, but also enjoy sewing, reading, macrame, and cooking. I'm new to crafting, but am having a great time here on Swap Bot! I really like taking the time to put together something special for my partner.

I love plant and botany themes, although I'm not big on floral designs.

I like all things vintage and old maps!

Also space, the ocean, or animals (mostly orca whales, dogs, sloths, puppies, insects, snakes, really all animals except cats, haha).

My favorite colors are earth tones such as green, any shade of brown, and dark red. I like anything made with craft paper and neutral tones.

I personally don't like pink, pastels, too cute or kawaii.

I love postcards! I would be happy to receive any postcard. I enjoy ones from your home country, art, graphic design, weird and strange postcards, etc. If you have a card you feel hesitant to send because it is raunchy or too strange, please send it my way, haha. Also, since I'm a teacher, feel free to send cartoon postcards, superheroes, robots, puzzles or others that kids would like-- I put them up in my classroom.

For non-postcard swaps, I am not picky on what I'd like to receive. Some ideas are washi tape, memo pads, blank cards, envelopes, letter sets, stickers, pens, die cuts, tea, etc. Just have fun and be creative! I will appreciate anything sent with thought and care.
