    More details about my language interests
    I grew up with a Korean mother from Chugnmu (Samchunpo) and can read/write in Hangul. I can understand some. Speaking is difficult but I will practice before coming! Happy to share what I can with English.

  • More details about your skills

    I've been farming in Kentucky for 3 years--fruits, vegetables, chickens, guinea fowl, goats. Also remodeling an 1800's log cabin we live in. I spent 6 years in the US Army as an officer, stationed in Seoul for 1 year. Also deployed to Afghanistan to help teach Afghan farmers how to farm things other than poppy but still make a living. Still very mission-oriented and driven to a life of service and dependability. Physically strong (I have a Guinness World Record in marathon running, and used to own CrossFit gyms, now I consider myself Farm-Fit).

  • What else ...

    I will be traveling to Korea at the end of October, and will see family in Busan. I have traveled to Korea many times, starting from when I was 100 days old. I have a social media following on Instagram (34k followers) and Tiktok (16k followers), most of whom are interested in farming and alternative lifestyles, and can help promote your farmstay. I'd like to return someday with my husband to show him the farming side of Korea. I cook Korean food at home since there are no good Korean restaurants in our part of the country and am excited to return to Korea to help out and learn more.
