Hello there, I'm Hyoyeon from Korea.

I like to ponder, and I also like sitting absent-mindedly.
I like to go walking along the riverside, wandering around cemeteries, visiting photo galleries, and sharing good music & paintings, etc.

I am basically an introverted person, but I’ve realized that I am a kind of person who needs a balance with the extraverted side of me.
I’ve become more interested in history while traveling. Not the history written by life's winner / the winners of wars but the one of the common people. I wonder how people interact with others in cultures foreign to one's own, influence or affect each other, and move from one place to another. I think my experience studying and working in Japan, as a foreigner/outsider, has somehow made me form these interests on people and society and how to view the world.

I studied English Langauge & Literature and Psychology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for chance to interact with local people as well as free shelter!
