About Me

Orginally, I was born in Busan, Korea(south) in 1992.
Now, I am studying in Sweden as an erasmus student(exchange student).
I can speak English well and a bit of Spanish. I like to learn languages even if they are words. Whenver I travel to somewhere, I learn their languages at least one word.
I like traveling to somewhere. On the travel, I can meet new friends and hang out with them. That makes me happy and drags me to travel again.
I am a kind of person who is talkative and curiosity. For those, I could learn other countries' food recipe and other languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On Couchsurfing, I can meet the local people. Of course, I can stay in a hostel of a city. But I don't think that is a real. In the country, at the local house, with local people those are real thing, I think. With couchsurfing, I know how many different people live all over the world. Sharing their food, idea and culture is imagine, even if I cannot communicate with them very well. Language is language. I can communicate with them by using my body or gestures. It's good enough. If I can meet new people in the world with couchsurfing, that's enough.

Interests

Actually, I would like to try everything at least once. Because I think that experience is very pracious and important, even if it's not good.
Normally, I like to go hiking on a mountain and meeting a new people sharing their ones e.g foods and cultural and traditonal things.
And I like to cook the food and learn how to cook it. I feel happy when I see the people who is taking my food happily.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the band music especially my favorite music is Wonderwall of Oasis. I like the most of their songs e.g slide away, Don't look back in anger, little by litte and so on. And others are red hot chili pepeer, Kings of Leon, artic monkeys and so on.

I love Star wars. When I was young ,I've seen this movie. But nowadays I am watching whole the series again. Because it's very good and addictive.

I prefer way older books than that of younger. Because the olderbooks are both more educational and inspirational. I was very impressed in reading Pride and preJudice, Les miserable, Phantom of Opera. And when I was in England, I saw the musicals about Phantom of Opera and Les miserable. I wanted to watch those on my eyes and remind me of those again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came Sweden in August of 2015. At that time, I don't speak english very well.
Before coming Sweden, I don't usually speak English and practice at all. At first, it was very horrible. And I scared to talk with people because I didn't get them at all and I had to ask them to tell again. However, as I said before, I like to make friends and communicate with them. So, I tried to speak with them and not to be scared to say something even if they understand or not. Later, I can improve my English and make many friends as well. I didn't expect I would have that many friends here. That's the on Amzing thing I did. Making friedns all over the world. Imagine, Have a frined of each country in the world. That's amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Korean perfectly. If anybody wants to learn Korean, I can teach it easily. Not sure it's easy for you. I wil try though.

And I can share my traveling story and suggest tourism spots of the countries I've been already.
