About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recovering from Travel Withdrawal!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Korean, born in Seoul, raised in Queens, living in Brooklyn, King of the County.

I've lived in New York for nearly 15 years, and I've spent 6 years in the MidWest in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I've recently moved back to New York and have been studying to attend Law School.

When I'm not studying, I'm working (as an SAT Instructor and Sales Associate Extraordinaire at a Men's clothing store in order to pay the bills) and when I'm not studying or working, I'm usually hanging out with my friends. Because life is pretty lame without friends and family.

PHILOSOPHY

Living my life to the best of my ability, by surrounding myself with people I love, people who will help me grow into a better person, hoping I can do the same for them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to meet people in a more organic way. Just starting off on Couch Surfing so please help, haha.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time on Couch Surfing and I'm hoping to have a great experience in Europe and hopefully I'll get a chance to return the favor.

Was Hosted: 1) in Zurich for 2 nights by Michael Fries.
2) in Amsterdam for 2 nights by Stephan Preeker.

Interests

Exercising, watching movies, reading books, listening to and making music, eating great food!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll read just about any book, watch any movie and listen to any kind of music, not because I have to, but because I believe if someone took the time to write, make and create something it deserves to read, watched or heard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is going to sound kind of lame, but just recently watching the Lakers lose a monstrous lead in a matter of minutes and digging themselves into a 3-1 hole was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach you some Korean (my written skills aren't that great) but I'm confident in my reading and oral skills.

I know a few tricks on my Zippo and I think I can teach you how to lower your speaking voice a few octaves (if you're interested in that).

I'd love to learn some French and German.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Netherlands, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

South Korea, United Kingdom, United States
