Hi! My name is Jon and I play the guitar. I currently study classical music at the New England Conservatory in Boston. I love meeting new people and hearing about their view on life.

Music is my number one passion but food is a close second. I love to cook and try different cuisines from all around the world. I was born in New York City and grew up there as a kid surrounded by all sorts of cultures. Both of my parents moved from South Korea to the U.S. as teenagers, so I am completely Korean by blood.

I would describe myself as easy going and relaxed. I believe in enjoying what's around you and accepting things as they are.

I can't host anyone right now because I am currently backpacking in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way of meeting people and learning about another person's culture and his or her own beliefs. It allows you to live like a local rather than as a tourist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you guitar or maybe help with English. We can also share food and drink as well as stories.
