About Me

To be fair, I do send a personalised request to a host, which I put my effort and time in. Therefore, I feel like I somewhat deserve your minute to either decline or accept me. I find no response is not cool at all unless you actually did not have chance to look at my request in a timely manner. As a host, I gotta say I expect the same from surfer, which means "Copy and Paste" will get my copy and paste response or decline it without any consideration. At least put my name rught next to "hi" as sending a message.

ABOUT ME

Originally from South Korea but moved around a lot while growing up so don't have much sense of my home country. Whereever I live is my home.

I honestly don't know much about myself since I am still discovering myself with big concerns about my future. However, what I do know is that I love meeting up with new people and learning something new from them. I am pretty much open minded and quite willing to share my stories with others. :)

I am a bit discursive and quite forthright but far away from misanthropic. Sometimes, I can be spaced out without any drugs, especially when I am pretty tired(I would love to believe on that everybody does) If I equivocate in replying, then that means I do not quite get what you are talking about.

I am generally poor, financially, but never been poor in any other ways.

PHILOSOPHY

make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”

― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

"My time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions down out my own inner voice. And the most important, have the courage to follow my heart and intuition. They somehow already know what I truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was told by one of my mates in 2010 and since then I have been enjoying it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite frankly, I have found it quite interesting to look at those who are quite bigot and wanna live in the world where they feel just comfortable, .but interestingly describing themselves as "open minded and adventurous" on their CS profile. Maybe they are open minded and adventurous but my level of being "open minded and adventurous" is just difference, maybe definition too.

Luckily, I got lots of good people who became my mates. Every single person that I have through CS is absolutely wonderful. But I feel like I have to say this since I have occasionally felt in some CS regular meet-up. in other countries while travelling

Interests

Pretty much everything, not quite into sports with the ball that is bigger than my fist, honestly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Open up to learning from others :)
