About Me

I was born in Daegu, South Korea
and I am majoring in Business administration and English at the Catholic University of Korea.
I finished military service in the Marine Corps of Korea in 2015.
I was in Sydney, Australia as a working holiday visa holder for a year in 2016.
I'm studying abroad for a year at University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas.

I think meeting local hosts while traveling is very lucky because it is getting into the host's life staying at host’s place. Perhaps the guest may have an lucky opportunity to go sightseeing, to eat out with the host in his regular restaurants, or to listen to the host’s special stories. Therefore, I can tell that hosts can not help but be careful about hosting the guest.

I am an open minded, honest, funny, easygoing, and respectful guy who likes to have a good time and make good friends. I was always curious about culture and people around the world. I am so happy to travel, see the world and interact with people who have different background.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the definitions of happiness for me is to experience something unique.
Seeing the Eiffel tower in Paris and the Statue of Liberty in NYC is trite for me.
I want to meet local people through CS and have the very local experiences with CS hosts.
I am pretty sure that CS hosts were once CSers like me before
and they have a lot of wisdom of traveling and unforgettable lifetime episodes.
That is why I am on CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to "Invincible" by Two Door Cinema Club. Also, I like all kinds of songs by 'Twenty One Pilots' and 'Alexi Murdoch'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled the whole east coast of Australia from Sydney to Cairns alone for a month. Before that, I had never thought about traveling alone more than a week. During the trip, I met a variety of friends from all over the world and we shared all the different cultures from each country. Fraser Island was the best Island ever I've been and I still keep in touch with the friends I met there.

What I Can Share with Hosts
