Hello! My name is Diane Kim, currently taking a semester off from university in Washington DC. I've been in Pua, Nan for 4 months teaching English at Pua School. I'm coming back from Bangaldesh after doing an internship at Grameen Bank.

During this time I am in Chiang Mai I will be at a meditation retreat and afterwards training at a Muay Thai gym. I'm hoping to stay with someone for the five days, I will also be training muay thai but hoping to also see the sights!!

My travels:
- I've been to Tijuana, Mexico countless amount of times on mission trips - giving out food, medical attention, clothes, and haircuts.
- I've traveled all around South Korea with Korean and American students. During this one month of travel, we were able to talk about Korea-America relations and how to resolve these issues such as education, trade deals, and human rights.
- I've traveled to Haiti visiting different organizations and universities. We were able to see how non profits were working in Haiti and talked to university students about their perspective on the problems in their country.
- I was an English teacher at Pua School for four months
- I was in Bangladesh, Dhaka for 1 month doing an internship with Grameen Bank

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately, traveling is still expensive and as a college student, I'm still on a tight budget.
