Hello! I was born in Seoul but grew up in Denver, Colorado.

Like most people on here, I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures and communities. I seek growth, adventure, knowledge, and friendship. I am very spontaneous, and I enjoy last minute adventures. I have many interests, but I'm currently on a quest to become fluent in Spanish. Siempre estoy buscando oportunidades para practicar mi español y puedo ayudarte con tu inglés si tú quieres también.

I am about people and experiences. I do not travel to check off a list. I travel, because it has forced me to grow in ways that has changed my life and perspective. If I fall in love with a country and keep going back, it's because I've fallen in love with the people, their way of living, their sense of community, and the experiences that I've gained because of all of those things.

My mantra: MAD LEAPS INTO THE UNKNOWN.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe that life is about connection and community. I love meeting people from different backgrounds, because I want to know how other people live. I'm always seeking to push my boundaries and question how I live, because I want to be more intentional about how I live my life. I believe that every person you meet has a story worth telling and a lesson to share, and I love traveling for the sole reason of having the opportunity to create connections with people I normally do not have the chance to interact with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am always trying to find new music and love listening to music in other languages. Open to pretty much anything except country.

Books: I generally read non-fiction books that mostly fall under behavioral economics or neuroscience, but I've also read "The Great Gatsby" over 20 times, because no one writes like that anymore.

Movies: I'm really down for any genre depending upon my mood, but if I'm being honest, I absolutely love horror films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Sahara desert and almost getting stuck in Morocco was a wild time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some Korean dishes, practice and help you with your English or Spanish (if you're also learning like me), and teach you about American and Korean culture.

I want to learn about other people's cultural differences and values. I'm open to trying new things and learning new concepts that are outside of my perspective and reality.
