About me is the hardest section to write. I feel like I am often a moderation of multiple conflicting personalities: Lazy and ambitious, outgoing and shy, social but solitary. I change according to people I am with and the situation I am in. I do make it a point to appear positive and accepting, trying my best to accommodate everyone as they are.

As far as objective information goes, I am an undergraduate student studying political science and economics at McGill university. I am from South Korea but I have lived little over half (latter half) of my life in Saskatoon, Canada. I am also a (flexible) vegetarian.

I enjoy hands on activities related to arts and music. I'm not too sporty but I do enjoy the outdoors and I would love to do more outdoor stuff. I love watching performances (music, theatre, museums) or movies/tv shows with great story line and amazing character development. I am always open to try something new (within limits :P) and learn about anything and everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The times I have couchsurfed were really nice. I feel that it is a more enjoyable to travel when there is a chance to make new conncections however brief they may be.

It is also much nicer to travel without worrying about lodging costs when you have a limited budget. So it is like hitting two birds with one stone.

Couchsurfed in Toronto and in Paris.
