*I live near Mae-bong station, 20 min away from Gang-nam station by bus or metro.

Hello, I'm Jay from Korea, beautiful country in east Asia.

Oh, When I speak foreign language, I'm not that serious guy who really likes to discuss about philosophy or academic stuffs which are full of combinations of complicated words. Because, basically, I'm not here for certain business and my English capability does not support my speaking :P However, if you want, I will try my best. Don't worry

I rather like to talk about my stories and listen to yours. This is the main reason why I am here. So I don't choose my hosts only by their available schedule. I choose by their descriptions and references.

I like to drink a beer even I have no idea about the brands. If there is a truth on earth, it must be a beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, couch does not mean only couch.
I think it means 'connection' as well. Basically, a couch is for a person to sit or lay down. But in here, it is for everyone who wants 'connection'. This characteristic attracts me for a long time but I had no chance to share my couch. Because I haven't.

But now! I have my own couch and this is the time! Way to go~ Let's hang out :)

Interests

▶ Hobbies
I like to play squash and football. My favorite player is 'Andres Iniesta'
I've been playing guitar for 6 years (not continuously).

▶ Studies
Since I studied Computer Science and Business Management, I am interested in IT for Business. I like to talk about IT industry all over the world.

Also, I teach Korean students about innovation know how, Design Thinking. It's like a lean, Agile. If you are interested in, I'm opened to your curiosity!

▶People
But the most thing I like is knowing people. I think knowing someone is like encountering another world. Because everyone has their own world. This means that if we listen to each other, we can think out side of our box and get a new insight! The more we share, the more we get.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classic and acoustic guitar, new age without lyrics and ballad music.
Romantic movies such as Notting Hill, About Time.
I usually read books related to design, innovation and creativity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled 4 countries in Europe with 1800 dollars except flight ticket. It can be sound like nothing for someone but for me, it was a huge challenge. There are many stories I got. Be prepared to listen to my stories.

I made a chorus and guitar performance and played them in front of 1,000 people. It was really exciting experience and I can show you when you are with me :)
(It's on Youtube :D)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in Korea, I can teach you how to write and read basic Korean :)
