I was born and raised near Toronto, Canada, went to university in St. Louis, US, and now I live and work in San Francisco, US at an education startup! In case you're curious, I'm South Korean by ethnic background.

I like to stay present and aware, keep an open heart and mind, and seek experiences that give me new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a self-taught hair stylist/barber! I specialize in men's hairstyles (of all kinds, from fades and lineups to longer hair), but I'll occasionally cut women's hair as well. If I have my equipment with me or you have some I can use, I'd be more than happy to give you a cut!
