I'm a runner, foodie, traveler, foodie (did I say that already?), a Potterhead (yet sadly a muggle =/ Ravenclaw-wannabe) and newbie in Couchsurfing.

I was/and will be again a university student in Seoul.
I am an exchange student in Madrid, Spain right now.
I am a third culture kid. Seoul (South Korea), Auckland (New Zealand) and Beijing and and Yantai and Shanghai (China), as well as briefly in San Francisco, California, were places I grew up in. Beside my birthplace.
I am very grateful of this, having loved the environmental- and indigenous-friendliness of New Zealand, hutongs of the Old New Beijing and shining lights of Shanghai's Waitan...

*Please. I want language/culture/story exchange and to make friends, NOT body fluids exchange aka casual sex or threesome just 'to get a room' ... I have gotten some weird responses here.

As soon as I am back in Seoul, I may want to host, but not until winter of 2017! That is when I get back...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being an exchange student in Madrid made me realize that
how so many visitors to Madrid would miss out on my favorite things about the city! Especially when you don't speak the local language, and can't ask the locals. DX
As much as I want to speak all the languages of the world.... it is always and would be so sad to miss out of the best place to eat or locals' favorite corners in an unfamiliar city.

I don't want to be a tourist, but a wanderer, a tourist.
I like telling and hearing lots of stories.
I think difference is something to celebrate, which can be only done by meeting people different from myself, of course.

Also, exchange language skills!

I love food and cooking and eating.
I have nothing against any food from the world. It is often one of my biggest purposes of travelling.... Go foodies!
I want to share food experiences as well =))

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES
I like two extremes: those that you don't have to think on, and those you have think HARD to appreciate.
like Kingsman, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Three Idiots ------- to Inception, Memento Mori
Also love dreamy-like quizzical French films like Delicatessen, Love Me if You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) and Amélie

BOOKS
Slaughterhouse Five... all-time favorite

MUSIC
I admire all forms. As I don't have a knack for rhythm or melodies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some Korean dishes if the ingredients are availabe!

I want to learn Spanish and cooking!
