Hello.

I'm a graduate student studying environmental science especially using satellite data and machine learning.
I have no chance to be a host yet, but when I have my place to host Couchsurfers I'd like to meet them.

What I expect from Couchsurfing is to get a glimpse of local people's life.
I've felt that I'm a just tourist without the communication of the local people.
I want to experience the life of each place on the Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard it from my friend in the airforce. He makes a plan to go abroad and meet people with CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First, With Andrea and Thomas at Galway, Ireland. It was a really good experience. They gave me the courage to continue Couchsurfing. Thank you and wanna see you later.

Second, with Manoe in Paris. It was my first time to visit Paris and of course, I really enjoyed the time with Manoe and Ziek, the other Couchsurfer. We had a picnic with other CS hosts & surfers at the canal. Merci beaucoup et au revoir!

Interests

Earth science, satellite, remote sensing, machine learning, computer science... for my research.

I like hiking, so every year I go hiking.

I like to meet the people who give me motivation and listen to their stories because it can make my life extended.

Learning French, Spanish and German is my new hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love stories. I like the movies of Theo Angelopoulos, especially Eternity and a day,
Hongkong movies of Wong Kar-wai, before series of Richard Linklater, Tarantino's movies such as Kill Bill..

Swan Lake, Pink Floyd, Carla Bruni, Janis Joplin, 언니네 이발관, 이문세, 가을방학 and so on...

the poetry of Baek Sok, Ki hyeongdo, L'Œuvre(Emile Zola), L'aube(Rimbaud), the brothers of Karamazov. etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived about two weeks in Geneve, Switzerland, helping a small local farm.
It gave me a lot of local experience that I never feel as a tourist.
After then, I'm trying to get a chance to live with local people even if it is a short time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm.. I can help you learn Korean if you're in learning. And i can share other things even if I can't recall them now. If you're interested in Korea, i could be helpful and share my couch when you come.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, the story of our life would?
the viewpoint of the world, hobby, job, education, living quality, future, travel, movie, music, et cetera..

I'm not a good talker or storyteller, but I will try to share something.
