I come from South Korea and translate patent chemical specification documents from English to Korean and vice versa. In spite of achievement of recognition as a translator, I have been feeling a lack and limitation of English, especially, listening and speaking, and I decided to study and travel during long vacation of this year.
I started travelling from January, stayed in San Francisco for 2 month and then travelled to Grand Canyon, Phenenix and New York this winter. Now, I stay in Vancouver, Canada.
From the middle of September, I will travel over the USA, Mexico and Cuba. Who can become my friend?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling over the world and meeting people.
I hope Couchsurging helps make nice foreign friends.

I met nice host like an angel in Phenenix on this March and I'm sure of meeting more good friends by Couchsurging.

After coming back to Korea, I want to become a nice host and help travellers.
