Hello, I am Aejoong.

In fact, I am not good at English.
So, I wrote my introduction, and my son translated all my information instead of me.

I live with my husband, but I rent a small apartment next to my village.
So, I have a chance to meet you guys.
The location is around Osong train station (오송역), and you can see the details in home tab.

The followings are about a brief story of me.

I worked as a public official for 13 years, and then I helped my husband's work. We manage a small factory to produce the cotton for blankets and pillows.
My role was an assistant of him, (but it was not easy) so I was able to engage in other things little by little. For example, I issued the first magazine of my village as volunteer work. Also, I learned a Korean folk song, named 민요, for about 10 years. I have a kind of certificate about 민요 and participated in several concerts. Then, I started to learn sing a "sijo" (시조), which is a traditional three-verse Korean poem. Thanks to such experience, I was able to teach 민요 and 시조 in my village.
Two years ago, I also enter the department of Korean Language & Literature in the Korea National Open University. This was because I have wanted to go through the education in university.
I am recently interested in Korean history about the most famous general, Yi Sun-shin(1545-1598). So, I joined in a club studying him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My son had a around-world-travel about two years ago. I heard that he experienced couchsurfing many times. So, I think that it is really exciting and I want to enjoy it.
Also, as I told you, I had a new apartment. In this apartment, I have three rooms including a living room. So you can stay my additional private room. My husband and I have a lot of blankets because of our factory. So, don't worry about blankets, haha.
I had several trips outside Korea, but I have little experience to interact foreigners. Through couchsurfing, I hope that I can meet many global friends. Couchsurfing experience will help my future travel. Moreover, I can introduce many kinds of Korean culture, such as 민요 and 시조.
