About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go!

ABOUT ME

I'm more of a listener than a talker, but if you give me some wine things can change pretty quickly~
I love seeing the world, observing new places. The first thing I like to do in a new city is sit at a cafe window, drinking a coffee and seeing how people live their lives there. I'm always interested in listening and learning. INFJ.

PHILOSOPHY

seek truth and love. see the world. don't judge. laugh more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to mix up my travels between staying in hostels to meet other travelers, and couchsurfing to meet people who live in the city I'm visiting. There can be a disconnected feeling if one doesn't connect with locals and couchsurfing bridges that gap for me. I've been using couchsurfing to surf, host and meet up for over 5 years now and it's provided me with some of my best travel memories so far.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's too much to list, and the list is ever changing, but...

My favorite song of all time is "Welcome Home" by Radical Face.

Currently working my way through Murakami's books. I never know how I feel even after I finish them but somehow can't stop either.

I'm a sucker for the movie (and book) pride and prejudice. any version.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love board or card games, let's play!

i'd love to learn a new language, about a different culture, about the way you live life in general.

let's share some coffee or tea or go out for a drink.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always ready to buy you a coffee, tea, drinks, or a meal in exchange for your hospitality. I live in Korea now so I can always bring Korean stuff if you ask in advance ;)
