CURRENT MISSION

To live my life with boldness and compassion

ABOUT ME

I am 28 years old and currently living in Washington, DC. I was born in South Korea but grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

I love to travel and enjoy meeting new people. I hope to lay my head on your couch soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first couchsurfed while studying abroad in college and had great experiences. I hosted while I was in Peace Corps Ukraine and have couchsurfed since then, all internationally. I have met great people from Sasha in Murmansk (we were his first surfers!), to Baris and Levant in Ankara. I am hoping to start hosting again but have only recently settled down into a comfortable hosting situation.

Couchsurfing reminds me of what is great about people and it is the best way to get to know a new place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was great.
