Hello everyone! :)

My name is Chaeyoung Lee. I know it's difficult to pronounce my name, but if you try, you can! So many people I met around the world finally could! It's Che-young.

I am from South Korea, studying English and Spanish at the university. I lived in South Korea, New Zealand and Germany before, currently living in Mexico City since October 2016 and learning Spanish there. I speak English and Korean(it's my mother tongue haha) fluently, and I can speak Spanish and Japanese a bit. As you can see, I like to learn language. :)

I like to travel around the world, meet new people and make friend! I love to see this beautiful world with my own eyes. I would like to experience the world as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I love to meet and stay with local people. So that I can experience the new place in the way of the local, and make new friendships with amazing people around the world! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked so many times in New Zealand! I know it sounds a bit insane but absolutely it's one amazing thing I've done. I just wrote my destinations on paper board and raised it on the street. And friendly New Zealanders and travelers offered lift to poor backpacker-me- haha. Thanks to them, I could enjoy scenic nature of New Zealand. It's really amazing to going somewhere by hitchhike! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach and learn new language-
I study English and Spanish at the university and learned sort of linguistics. I can teach English to whoever wants to learn it! I was English teacher in Academy in Korea before. I can teach Korean - my mother tongue - too.
Because I am studying Spanish in Mexico, I would love to learn Spanish from local people. Please teach me Spanish! :)

Also I was in New Zealand for a year on working holiday - it was one of the greatest thing I've ever done- so I would like to share my travel experience, too!

Besides, I love to cook and I am a good cook! I really fell in love with mexican foods, so I would like to learn how to cook mexican food.
