Overview
About Me
Hi, I'm a student living in Osnabrück, born and raised in South Korea. I am living in Germany since 2015. I am studying Cognitive Science right now and feel thankful that I found this study program, really enjoying it.
If I'm not busy reading some philosophical paper or writing some programs for uni I like to be in nature, I would just go for a walk, ride a bike, go hiking... Or if I feel like it might go discover a new city. But often I just end up cooking some meal with my friends :) I'm not really the most talkative person on the earth but I do like having a nice conversation. I also appreciate nice books, films, music, and arts.
Although I would like to offer a place to sleep as well, it's pretty hard at the moment, since I'm living in a dorm and there is not much space. But we can still figure something so don't be afraid to contact me. Or we can of course just meet up to have some fun times together :)
Over few years my perspective about traveling changed a bit. Although it is a nice way to enrich yourself, it is also a big privilege to be able to do it and you should take responsibilities. This could mean for example: try not to fly so much. Spend your money wisely so that it lands on right people's hands who really need it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was on a Bike tour in the year 2017 and I wanted to learn new people and save some money ( I need to be honest here :P). Now that I had really great experiences by Couchsurfing, I'm thinking of it as a platform to get to know people.
I fucked up my last stay a bit, I was in a very egoistic mindset and now I feel like I learned how to deal with that. It's always necesary to have a good plan.
And now that I have received so much from the community, I want to give it forward to other people as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
I really love listening to music, and I'm not really picky about it. I mostly listen to some lo-fi hip hop beats or jazzy beats when I study or when I just want to rest, but sometime I would listen to stuff from Gesaffelstein as well :) Other artists that I love listening to are the Interpol, A winged victory for sullen, London grammar, Flume, Men I trust...
As for the film, Inception has a really nice storyline to it
2 days & 1 night has a simple plot but you really can feel the stress the character would feel there
I don't like an action film that much
I read some stuff from Jorge Bucay recently and found it cool
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
