About Me

Hi CS Fridends! Wish you have a quality time in Korea, as well as Jeonju.
There are changes temporarily on my hosting. I am currently very busy on my business issues and I witnessed that I can't fully concentrate to have quality time with my guests when I am busy already.
So I finally made up my mind not to accept a further request for staying for the time being. But I can meet up or hang out if possible and I can give you information or advice. At the same time, as a father of 3 kids, I will also make exceptions to those family Couchsurfers WITH KIDS !
Have a nice and happy travel !
================================================
Hi Couchsurfers! Please read the "Read more"(mobile) or " My Home"(PC) above FIRST before you send a request because there are some changes! I described my home, location and accommodation arrangements!
=================================================
Hi CSs! As a father of 3 kids and a husband, I always try to have as much time as I can and try to experience as many things as I can with them. enjoy the time with my family and friends in a long journey of life. And sometimes with the friends from different countries.
Have a happy day :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had been a little bit indefferent when I got the email from CSs before. That's until I met 3 very special friends.
A French guy who is making his great journey of trevelling the world for 10 months and still more!!
A K-pop fanatic Moroccan girl who finally made her first visit to Korea.
And a pancake guy who throws the 'Dutch pancake party" hundreds times, literally, all over the world.
What a coincidence!!! These three very unique and sweet people from different countries were accidently together at my house at a same night in May 2018. And that was the first time that people from different countries visited my house in 10 years!!
It was a wonderful experience for my family to have a talk, bbq, and hangouts with them, especially for my son and me. Some of them stayed longer than they had planned, build a rapport with my kids and me. When they left we felt as if we lost something and remind me of the time I backpacked France and Europe when I was twenties. And this gives me energy in the normal daily life.
Since then, my family agree to have guests from abroad from time to time. Thanks for these 3 guys! I ll keep my fingers crossed for their great journey.!
