Hi people~!

My name is Euihyuk Byun but I made my Eng name up, Brian as most of Aussie have difficulty pronouncing my name.

I am in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia on permanent visa that I just got after putting a lot of effort and time! Yay~ haha

I am an easy and flexable person~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently met one Korean girl who is a couchsurfer and she told me about how she travels around the world. I was facinated by the way she enjoys her travel. As I just finished uni and work full-time, I got more time and can afford to travel but I thought it would be better if I could meet local people so that not only I can make new friends and exchange culture and food, also I can find the hidden best places or restaurants only known by the locals! ( we all know the restaurants on the travel magazines in our place are not the best :p)

Interests

First of all, I am in love with Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ), a Brazilian traditional martial art invented by the Japanese settled in Brazil centuries ago and local Brazilian people. If I could, I would attend classes at BJJ clubs where I travel around. It is the great way I can communicate with others, learning new skills. But! Don't you worry~ I never used in real situation and will not. Violence is neither an answer nor a solution but an option.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Wiz Khalipa, Snoop dogs, Marron 5, Miley Cyrus, Rhianna, and so on. And Jazz~

I don't like watching horror movie because the horror movies that I watched always come up in my dream.... terrible... except that I like every kind of movie.

To be honest with you, I am not a book person.. haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It could be nothing but I finished uni in Aus without my parents' financial support. I paid $80,000 tution fee by working hard during uni and now got permanent visa in Aus. Money cannot stop us from achieving our goals! Agree? :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Of course, first of all, I can teach you Korean. And if you want, I can teach you some basic self-defence skills. And hmm.... you know when you wanna say what you are good at, it is hard to find something to say.. haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food~~! I been living in Aus by myself for 7 years!! I am not saying I am a good cook but known by my friends and people who have had my dishes :) I can cook Ji-jim-i, Korean seafood pancake, even better than restaurants haha. And my Ddeok-bok-gi is an art! Haha I am not a binge drinker but enjoy drinking.
