About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn about other cultures, and meet new friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hybrid of several places that I call home. Raised in South Korea, Ecuador, and California. I love learning about new cultures and immersing myself in them. I enjoy traveling whenever possible, and meeting new people from different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host CSers in my humble guest room. Meet CSers when traveling for coffee/drinks. Attend CS events in Orange County, and in Seoul.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my CS experiences have been good. I've learned a lot from hosting my guests. When visiting an area, there's no better way to get to understand the culture than by hanging out with a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll narrow it down to Amalie, 500 days of Summer, Equilibrium, Forrest Gump, and secretly I love movies with Queen Latifah.
Ben Harper. Dave Matthews, Ben Folds, Jason Mraz. Big fan of Julieta Venegas, Pablo Alboran, and Mana... but who isn't right?
Books? The easy way to stop smoking, All Ken Follet books, all Khaled Hosseni books, all Dan Brown books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sharing a hug with the President of Peru at the top of Machu Picchu on it's 100th rediscovery celebration. Completely surreal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people that are creative and live life to the fullest. Optimistic and energetic. People who are open minded about other cultures and would try almost anything once, especially when it comes to food! I love adventurous eaters! I think it says so much about a person. You're open, brave, and nonjudgmental.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a comfortable place to stay and your own private space.
