ABOUT ME
I'm open-minded, considered and sometime too funny. People said, I'm very energetic & curious & easy-going & so brave.. but I think I'm shy somehow.
I studied Journalism and Korean at Univ. After the graduation, I became a journalist. I'm very interested in encouraging people, especially their dreams. So I wrote 2 books about Self-development.
and then I changed job. I worked for NGO to help people unimployed. After that I did world trip for about one and a half years. I wrote stories about people who inspired me a lot while travelling. It was my third book. I’m currently working at education company. I’m a coach and writer ant the same time.
PHILOSOPHY
-Seize the Day.
-No ventured, no gained.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Last winter(2011), I was travelling in China. and I met a argentina guy, he introduce this great website to me and told his story after using this. It was awesome! I was surprised how could this be possible! This is revolusion! so I joined here happily.

Interests
My interest is quite broad.
Culture -People's the way of life /
Writing - a good way of expression myself /

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : New-age music, Pops & Korean pops. Instrumental
Movie : Shawshank Redemption, Forest Gump, Dead Poet Society, and so on
TV series : Prison Break, Criminal Minds, etc
Books : So many books inspire me. I love reading books, all kinds of books. I’ve read over 10,000 books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
First, wrting and publishing three books so far.
Firat two books-i joined as co author and third book i wrote by myself. Writing book is never easy but fun n meaningful work. Can’t resist to do it.
Second, New zealand in 2004, I did Bungy jumping three times at once. even though I've got Acrophbia. I felt almost died, but did. You Might be curious 'Why she did?'. The reason was so simple, I just found that three jump was cheaper than just one jump!
anyway I got a big gut after that.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have certificates of Korean cooking & Teaching Korean to speakers of other language. So I can teach and share Korean, Korean culture with you well. and also I really wanna learn about yours. 'm very curious about other cultures. We can share manything, I bet.
I love adventure, I got some stories about my adventure, like 'free travel'. They are too long to write here. If given the chance to meet, I am willing to tell you anything. ^^
