I was born in Seoul, Korea but raised in Mexico City, Mexico. When I was 2 years old my family moved to Mexico and I lived there for around 18 years. I returned to Seoul to study Computer Science at Yonsei University. Currently I took one year off from school to earn money and travel South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I am interested in anything and everything in this universe. Particularly I love technology, sports, and music. I played piano for around 10 years so i can still play some Chopin. During highschool I was the keyboardist and vocalist of a band called Segundo Planck. In fact you can find our only music video on YouTube by typing Ruben el Rancio - Segundo Planck. Regarding sports, I love football soccer. Barcelona is my team but I have teams for each country. I have been playing since young so we can play with friends or watch matches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any of the three languages that i can speak Spanish English or Korean.
I would love to learn any new languages or skills such as cooking typical meals, taking good pictures with a real camera and appreciating modern art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe receiving and giving are all part of a cycle. I can offer my services in any household chores, which by the way I am pretty decent at. I can cook some simple dishes, wash, clean, etc. Also, I can tutor children in various subjects like math, science, humanities, languages, etc. My friends tell me I am full of positive energy, optimism, and humor.
