Greetings world. I'm Jae and welcome to my profile. I've been living in the States for over 10 years now and I love to travel and meet new people. Despite the language barrier that I might have during my travel, it is always nice to use both English and body language to solve the communication issues.

I am confident and love to solve cultural and communication obstacles during my travel. Also, I love to learn from the locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate to explore the unknown parts of the world while interacting with people that I've met for the first time.

Interests

I'm interested in interviewing random people. One time, I spoke to this Polish elderly lady in Munich, Germany about the police in Poland. I did not speak a single word of Polish vice versa. But, thank goodness for her patience, we were able to have a conversation with gestures and body language.

After speaking with her, it became a habit of mine to speak and ask questions to strangers. In the end, it becomes a cultural lesson from where I'm visiting while building a friendship with strangers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Titanic. Although, I hate the ending scene.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled west and central Europe for a month and a half without any plans. No plan, just a plane ticket, and a Eurail pass. I did not know where I would end up the next day or where I was going to stay. Frist 2 days were hell, but I got used to it.
