About Me

Hey there, I'm an extroverted life traveler from South Korea, currently in Canada. I just finished my exchange program in Calgary, and I'm doing some traveling now in Vancouver. Looking forward to meeting you!

Cities I have been to:
Canada - Vancouver, Calgary, Banff, Edmonton, Niagara Falls
US - NYC, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, Niagara Falls, Seattle (very soon!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be stuck in my home country until I completed my military service in Republic of Korea Air Force in mid 2024. My new life began with my first solo trip to the U.S in 2024 and then my exchange semester in Canada in 2026, but I'm still learning about the world. I've hosted my friends and been hosted a few times when I was studying in Calgary, and learned how much fun it is to host and be hosted. It gives you the feeling of being together when you're abroad by yourself. Other than that, I've never officially hosted or been hosted on Couchsurfing (mostly I stayed at hostels), which is why I have zero references LOL. I'm still excited to make new friends and explore new areas!
