I'm entirely new to CouchSurfing.

I'm currently majoring in Economics and Finance at Hanyang University.
I'm planning to start my career in the financial sector in the global financial hub.
I always try to get out of my comfort zone.
I pursue a colorful life with full of curiosity.

Here are my favorite things.
1. Trying exotic foods and new spices
I also love to cook these foods.
2. Having a discussion while drinking
This is one of my favorite hobbies.
3. Getting lost in foreign places.
4. Jazz club, Live music club
5. Trying craft beers at brewery
6. Art films, Indie films
7. Having conversations and getting insights from intelligent people
8. Yoga, Pilates
To improve endurance and flexibility
9. Ballet, Classical concert

I'm also interested in how the nations work: what makes a nation prosperous, how the economic system works, what path dependence does the country have.
I want to know their distinct norms, institutions and cultures, local people's thoughts and values.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To get out of my comport zone and extend my experiences

I believe the two pillars that make up a person are experience and knowledge.
I've been spent my whole life learning and studying. But due to lack of my experiences, the gap between them becomes gradually bigger. I realized that if I didn't expand my experience, my growth would stagnate.

To extend my experiences, I should change my outsight.
That's why I do Couch Surfing and try to make a connection with local people.

2. No matter where you are from, anybody can be friends by sharing food and building connections.

I love to watch 'Somebody Feed Phil', the travel documentary. It teaches me the joy of sharing foods, learning about cultures and making connection.

3. to learn the views and values of foreign people
I want to absorb what and how they are thinking!!
I'm curious about similarities and differences between countries.
Like prices, living standard, edcation system, languages, norms, cultures, their own controversial topics, etc...

4. To improve language skills
I'm trying to improve English and French proficiency.
I can teach you Korean.
