About Me

This video represents who am I just in 1 minute.

I'm sure that each one's dancing shows the person's unique personality, taste, way of life, and many more about the man.

I'm a dancer started with "Locking" but nowadays trying to combine every kind of human's movement not only street dances but also like Tango, Samba, Salsa and African or just general motions . Dancing led me to know myself better. I could catch my feeling more sensitively and express it, also pay attention to my body from tiny changes to big ones. It changed me really a lot. So, experience what or how other world's people feel, see and move even though they are not dancers or artists, is one of the most important reason why I'm traveling.

As a traveler, make my journey according to expected artistic and cultural experience, where seems I could get any kind of inspiration. The final goal is to go to the space(hope I could make it this time).

I can also say that I'm a dreamer. Always try to overthrow stereotypes and reject to fit into existing cast which people say that's the right way of life. If I stay present without change, then it means I'm dead. Just believe everything will flow away as I want and keep moving. Therefore, my motto is 'Live at least today'. If I do my best each day with joy, and make small changes everyday then the sums gonna be something I wanna be.

One of my biggest dream is to make the world's best composite art festival even Noel and Liam Gallagher eager to have a gig although the condition is perform together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Briefly, want to meet more people and their life.
What I thought when I decided to try Couchsurfing, the purpose was to see the ‘real city’ rather than the aspects each city or country want to show to foreigners.
But now, even sightseeing is not that important but communication with the people from the worlds I have never experienced is the first.
At first, I traveled like just jumped from one tourist spot to others so had no exchange with people. After I knew this wonderful community, it led me to share my journey with others. Thanks to great experiences I got from awesome hosts, even though some cities I could not do Couchsurfing, I tried to meet anyone on the street and communicate with.
The best way for me to get along with people was absolutely dancing. I could find lots of dancers on the street in every city and just danced with them right away. After that, I could enjoy my days with them in their ways as I melt on their ordinary life. I even never saw some landmarks or ate famous foods of some countries, but I do not have any regret about this way of travel.
I think how nice experience I can get when I meet people through Couchsurfing or on street depends on how well our differences work together. You know, meeting unknown always has possibility to have trouble. However, it makes our life much more interesting and unexpected. For me, Couchsurfing is also which I can fully enjoy the gap between you and I.

Interests

I have so many interests even still getting more and more everyday in various fields. Some people says concentrate in a specific one is better but I don't think like that so far. All these make synergy with each and bring me somewhat positive in the end. All these have organic relationship and it made me.

Nowadays, upon these interests, Enriched Life and Urban Planning are my priority interests. Of course these are come with culture and art. How can we live our life in a great culture with enjoying art sufficiently? At least in my country, a lot of people's life(I want to concentrate on youth's first) is becoming dry. There's no hope and dream. For us, we need a city itself can give positive and cheerful energy to people. Where we can have a rest although we cannot make any time for rest.
So, I believe 'Artistic air in the city' could be one of the solution for that. Some cities are already doing it but other cities need different form which suitable for each. I do not have any idea to specify that yet. Traveling is one of the way to find that also all my other interests I have had so far or I will get through new experiences are essential for this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many. I can say that I was drawn to musicians who gave me any kind of inspiration.
Just a few of them I've ever felt something from their music :
The Beatles, David Bowie, Oasis, Queen, Arcade Fire, Electric Light Orchestra, Dave Matthews Band, U2, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Soundgarden, Fleet Foxes, Michael Jackson, N.EX.T, James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Sting, Bon Iver, The National, Seotaiji, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Yi Sung Yol, Kasabian, Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Peter Bernstein.....

I'm into jazz these days but jazz culture is very minor in my country, so I hope to have a chance to experience your country's jazz.

Movies.. I love movies but no certain prefer genres or stories. Anything I like is one of my favorite at that moment. "Hell or High Water", "I, Daniel Blake", "No country for Old Man" and "Once Upon a Time in America".

These days, the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" is going crazy in South Korea. It was so hard to find any fan of Queen here, but this movie is making a huge success. If anyone has interest about this phenomenon, let's discuss about this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Northern light in Tromso, Moais of Isla de Pascua, U2's Joshua Tree Tour in Paris, and so on... were truly amazing things. However the very best is,

Almost dead twice but I'm still alive.
First one was faint away due to low temperature when I was trying to spend a night at the seaside of Skagen. Second was when robbers pointed a gun to my head in Brazil.

One Saddest Thing
is definitely I couldn't meet David Bowie before his death.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach whatever I've learned, Learn whatever you've learned.
I do not prefer to use the word 'teach'. I think everything is sharing because someone who teaches something to others will learn also from them for sure. Thus I can share my dancing, my culture and language or something else I can with yours. Of course I really love to talk about art and culture around us.
In fact, I think all the moment during I meet any other person is sharing itself. Do not have to be specified.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything I can.
Share my world, story and priceless moments of life during the time that I meet you.

I'm sorry but I don't drink alcohol, so I cannot share beer, wine, vodka, rum, soju.... with you. But party is always welcome. Going crazy without alcohol is absolutely possible.
