About Me

"The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" - Marcel Proust.

Hi friends!
I'm Minsik, a great hitchhiker.
I've been traveling around the world since 2016.
I visited so many beautiful places in this wonderful world.
I made a conclusion that connecting people and being connected by people is the most precious value I could learn from traveling!
That's why I started hitchhiking and couchsurfing.
I spent lots of time on roads to meet new people and share time and stories.
I meet people, talk and share ideas, and keep writing about it.
Since I decided to be a full-time traveler, I've been trying to keep this great work all the time.
I want to meet you to see a new world from your perspective!

I'd love to host people who want to share their travel and life stories. Couchsurfing is all about it. If you agree with the idea, please send me a personalized message, which isn't just copy and paste. Then you'll get a chance to meet a great hitchhiker!
