Hi! I'm a korean(not the north one with Kim :-p) majoring in french literature and Europe regional studies. For this semester(2016 fall), I'm studing in Geneva university, Switzerland as an exchange student. One of my french friend told me that i'm a bit introvert but sociable. I agree with that idea. I have a calm personality while i like to meeting new people and culture as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made this account while i'm traveling alone in London & Paris for two weeks in 2011. At that time, i failed to meeting people by using this services and i'm filling up this profile again now to introduce myself to new to-be-hosts who i'd meet in Europe during my Erasmus. I'm looking forward to meet you guys.

Interests

I always bring my small camera with me. I like to take photos in daily routine to make the day special. I learnt how to use Lightroom and photoshop by myself and i'm enjoying it. You can check my photos on instagram @utre_jovian (cf. Jovian is my stage name and 'autre; utre with @' means 'another' in french)

• swimming

Music, Movies, and Books

I DO LOVE BEYONCE.
but, i like most of the music other than (too) heavy metal.

Recently, i read 'le rouge et le noir' of stendhal. And it drew my emphathy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a korean guy, we are obligated to finish 19 months of military services. Though I wasn't a combatant but a kind of accountant managing the budget of the camp, it was quite stressful and hard to live a restrained life. But after i finished it, i regard that it worth to live like that. Anyway, i'm thankful to finish it.
