Recently graduated from Amherst College and currently working as an English Teaching Assistant (ETA) in Bulgaria through the Fulbright Foundation. I grew up in Seoul for the first ten years of my life then moved to Seattle. I studied math and history in college.

I enjoy watching movies, listening to jazz (going to jazz bars), checking out various programs at art museums, and playing basketball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend who did a solo travel excursion did couchsurfing and said he had a fantastic time. I think I will be doing quite a few solo travels in the future too, and I think couchsurfing will be a great way for me to meet locals and acquaint myself with the city at a granular level.
