I was born in South Korea and grew up in New York City. I just received my bachelor's in neurobiology at MIT, and before starting at Harvard Medical School next year, I got a fellowship to do neurobiology research in Göttingen for a year. I love everything about Germany so far -- its culture, food, people, architecture, and so much more. My goal is to travel to as many cities in Germany as possible this year.

I love playing/listening to/learning about music, being active, and meeting new people. I'd like to devote this year to trying new things, meeting new people, and learning as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and learn from their experiences, exchange viewpoints, and reach a deeper understanding of the cultures of places I visit. I believe couchsurfing is an excellent avenue of achieving such goals, and I am confident that you feel the same as hosts. :)
