About Me

CURRENT MISSION

completing WORLD-WIDE STORY BOOK while traveling the world

ABOUT ME

Now I’m in the University named ‘INSA de Lyon’, studying Industrial Engineering and Management Science, in Lyon, France. I’ve spent all my life in learning Math, Science and Management. I’m dreaming about combining those theories in the real business world. If there is someone truly interesting about these things, we could talk a lot thing about world’s (or Koreans’) business or society, personal characteristics or strategies of now on. I’m really interested in learning those things. We could communicate joyfully and humorously

PHILOSOPHY

“modesty and humility on everything” this is my philosophy, that I’ve never been changed. Every second, I appreciate for everything- the teachers, the friends, the plants, etc. I believe it gives me calm and makes my life as truly mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’ve seen CS in the news paper, and I suddenly find it will be totally mine. I’m always looking for hang out with friends in other countries. I really love that. My first roommate was from Azerbaijan, and also now, I’m living with lovely Chilean and Italian. I’m sure it must be great times during surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Five years ago, I visited China, and I had home-stayed there about 7 days. The family of her friends was so kindly, so that we could easily be friend. I could learn a lot Chinese culture from her, and she might also.

Interests

Now I’m traveling all Europe and making the story book. It will be made by a thousand random-people whom I’m going to meet. I’ll ask them a one sentence for each person, and so finally the book is consisted of 1000 sentences which people write sentence by sentence. It will be the after-story of “the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been India last year, for voluntary service. I’d painted school and educated the children. They were seems like really poor. Some of them were dying of disease, and begged for electricity, the thing that we’ve been able to meet everywhere. But however, what I really amazed is that they are all happy. Every child has smile on their faces as their adults. I’ve never seen the face like that, and I think THIS- is what the people, in countries with full of conveniences, must learn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to talk about what I’ve seen yesterday on TED talk. What is your definition of success? Is it related to any rewards? Here is another meaning of success, which is the most powerful and encouragable yourselves. This is what he saying: “The success cannot compare with anybody and is only evaluated by yourself, whether you’ve done your best on the journey” I’m fully agreed with him. And I want to widespread it with you.
