About Me

ABOUT ME

Been couchsurfing for 12 years now. Get sucked into adult life - binge surf - then get sucked in again to pay the bills - then binge again to spend it all.

Korean gal from New York City/Mexico City now based in Washington DC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a surfer all along.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS started as a high school graduate. Crashed at an awesome Erasmus student´s house in Madrid and with an adorable family in Beijing. I´ve continued to surf during my stay in Spain, travelling to Lisbon, Rome, Cordoba, and Mexico City. I've also been going to meetings and hanging out with fellow CSers in Seoul, Sevilla, and Moscow.

Interests

Some of my closest friends I have met through Couchsurfing. Really an amazing network and experience. Also love the exposure to new culture, food and drinks, learning language.

I care about social causes.

Hobby is jogging, basketball, tennis, fostering animals

I LOVE samba.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with the wild dolphins in the Indian ocean.
Crossing a river valley on a mere rope in Nu Jiang, Tibe, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQusBAhL-Gs) and then getting stuck in the middle and thinking that I'll die, and then miraculously surviving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages. And trying different food.
I love samba & would love to learn some chords

What I Can Share with Hosts
