About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Please show me your city and tell me about the history and stories about your city. I will film a vlog and write a blog about your city.
Currently, I'm making a Korean-language audiobook about Switzerland, and later I want to put your city(wherever you live) into the audiobook so that Korean people can visit your city. So far I made two audiobooks about Berlin and an audiobook about Bilbao.
My mission is to make the world a greener and a better place and bring reunification of South Korea and North Korea.

ABOUT ME

Why do you live? I live because my life is full of wonders every day. My life is art, and I'm painting it with beautiful colors every day.
I live in Bern, Switzerland and I work as a web developer. I'm also a writer and a journalist, blogging about my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I arrived in Israel and had my first Couchsurfing experience. I recall it was like a 'Incubator' before I stood alone in Israel. The lovely hosts, Sar and Orly, not only showed me around but also helped me find a flat and taught me Hebrew.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies that make me contemplate, like history, drama, and movies based on a true story.
For Korean directors, I like Hong Sangsoo and Bong Junho films. The movies I love are: Don't Look Up, Tess, and Far from the Madding Crowd.

I like classical music, jazz, instrumental music, and music that comes out in the cafe, or any music that you turn on.

I like novels (Circe, Harry Potter series). My favorite authors are Murakami Haruki and Oliver Sacks. I also love books with pictures.
