Hi! I'm a college student and social entrepreneur from Korea. I study literature, culture, and education, and my social venture focuses on reforming educational culture and discourse in Korea. I love meeting people from various culture because I find it to be very inspiring. I hope I'll be seeing you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling with a friend to Europe for a month. We plan to visit Ireland, UK, Greece, and Poland. What I love about traveling the most is getting accustomed to different cultures by meeting new people. I hope that through Couchsurfing, my dream will come true :)

Interests

• education
• filming
• social venture

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an amateur film-maker, which naturally made me like movie soundtracks. My favorite composers are Hans Zimmer and James Horner.

I really liked a recent film named LALA LAND, especially for their music. My favorite films include Snowpiercer and American Beauty.

Books? Why bother? Harry Potter :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've founded a social venture named Project WIGI just before graduating high school. Project WIGI has the goal of rediscovering people's desire for learning and teaching. Since then, we hosted various conferences and events, some of which were introduced in national newspapers. In June, I was invited to an international social entrepreneurs' exchange event in Japan, enabling me to know how other social entrepreneurs are trying to change the world. Such an inspiration! We've just launched a media platform that recommends adequate educational institutions for individuals, which is first of its kind in Korea. Great :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning stuff - it's my favorite hobby. Knowing that I do not know something is always a charming experience. Perhaps, I can share social situations in Korea! I was recently interviewed by TBS in Japan to give an account on how I thought about on-going disbute regarding our President Park.

I also have a hobby of making films - perhaps I can help you! (I'm just an amateur though)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a young student with not much money - so I can't offer much meaningful things. However, what I can share is an enthusiasm, experience, inspiration... me!
