I am a student based in Montreal. I study Microbiology and Immunology, and more recently have been working in Public health, with Inuit populations in Northern Canada.
I grew up in Korea and in Canada, and got to learn a few languages, meet people from all around the world, and get to learn different cultures.
I have a lot of hobbies - but I do spend a lot of time walking the streets of places I travel, and take pictures with my film camera. I like to wander around the city to get the vibe of the area and talk to the locals as much as I can :) I think the local culture and people is what makes a place. Otherwise, I spend summer weekends tending my beehives! Beekeeping is time consuming, but really rewarding.
I appreciate witty humour and an enthusiast of pretty much every type of media and culture - talk to me about any kind of music, films from any decade, and art from many periods. I grew up in Montreal and can tell you about it if you are interested...or interested in learning French!
Cooking is a #1 hobby of mine and my custom is to offer people to make one thing (anything) that they request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people! Especially, I feel like meeting locals is the easiest, and most fun way to get to know a place.
