My name is Ariel. I´m 21 years old and currently living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was raised in a Korean household but I´ve made a lot of argentinian friends which made me very fond of their culture.

I like to travel alone most of the times. Solitude is a precious thing to me, but also love to nurture myself meeting new people around the world and learn new ways of thinking.

I love having conversations about philosophy, politics and film.

A glass of whisky always reaches to a very interesting dialogue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To personally get to know some of the people around the world! Meeting new souls fulfill my spirit to wanting to travel more around the world! I also always like to give something back when I have a good time with anyone. It´s automatic from my innate need of being grateful!

Music, Movies, and Books

I usually like artists who innovate and are genderless like Tom Misch, Jordan Rakei, Nicolas Jaar and The Beatles.
Otherwise, I mostly listen to Jazz, R&B, Classical music, Film Soundtracks, Indie, etc. A mixture of my favorites are Daniel Caesar, Phoria, Cigarettes After Sex, Rhye, The XX, Mac Ayres, Bruno Major, Chet Baker, Kaytranada, I could go on forever...
I also enjoy very much Techno. Rave parties are one of my favorite hobbies. Tale of Us, Recondite, Green Velvet, Boris Brejcha, Marc Houle, Mind Against, Phil Kieran, Kolombo, Gaiser, Fisher, Chris Lake, Adam Beyer, (I should stop) Shiba San, Carl Cox, Sidney Charles (seriously, stop), Hot Since 82, Matador (okay STOP)

On film I will just mention some directors: Lars Von Trier (I know most people would judge me on this), Xavier Dolan, Gaspar Noe, Dennis Villeneuve, Nicolas Winding Refn, Mike Cahill, I could also go on forever on this...

I have the terrible habit of reading only one book on different authors. There are too many interesting people and I´m too impulsive. But I mostly enjoyed Camus and Nietzsche the most. I´m a really positive person though I promise.

Have tons to learn to be able to teach. But I can share opinions and my philosophies!
