CURRENT MISSION

Learning--reading, writing, speaking, listening, dreaming, breathing--French!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Seoul, South Korea. My family moved to the United States when I was twelve, and I grew up in Florida and Colorado.

I go to school in Pennsylvania, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Peace and Conflict Studies. I'm currently spending a semester abroad in Grenoble, France. My mission here is to learn--read, write, speak, listen, dream, and breath--French!

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently found out about CS while talking to a friend about my upcoming trip to Italy. It's such an amazing idea! I can't host at the moment because I'm living with a host famiy here in Grenoble.. But I'd be more than happy to go out for a cup of coffee or drink. :)
