About Me

Kia Ora. I am an Asian-Kiwi who was born and raised in South Korea and moved to New Zealand 16 years ago. I often tell people that half of my brain is Asian and the other half is Kiwi :D.
I am currently travelling around the world for 1 year and a half. The journey had begun on 27th of May 2016.
I will be travelling all around America continent (from Canada to Argentina) and Europe, Africa, Asia.
I also speak basic Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different counties and learning their culture and listening to their stories, interests and belief.
Variety of interest and curiosity is what drives me to travel.
If I can have an eye opening discussion that would be even better!
