Overview
About Me
I'm a third culture kid, born in South Korea, grew up in Argentina, and now living in the USA.
Unfortunately, my living situation is such that I cannot host, yet. But I'd be down to meet up, grab a meal, and show you around my favorite bits of my beloved Baltimore.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Sounds clichéd, but I'm on CS to make the world a more peaceful place. It all starts with fostering better understanding with one other. Also, I'm extremely grateful for having crossed paths with some of the most generous and hospitable people of this planet during my travels, so naturally I want to give back.
More selfishly, I'm on CS to rekindle my old traveling days, to meet other travelers and live vicariously through them.
Interests
The cultural diversity of our world astounds me and I can't get enough. When I travel, I like to travel slowly preferably by bicycle, and I'm primarily interested in getting to know the people.
