I was born and raised in South Korea and studied foreign languages in university. For the past three years, I’ve been working in the public sector, and my job currently has me traveling between Ramallah and Jerusalem. I’ve visited 17 countries so far, and I’m excited to explore more of Europe this year and next. If you’re a warm-hearted and laid-back person, I think we’ll get along great! I’m pretty easy-going, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've made great friends from different countries through Couchsurfing, and it has been a significant asset in my life. I believe it's time to give back and reconnect with new travelers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18, I started and ran an NGO for three years to help college students who had trouble affording food. We were lucky to have over 1,000 volunteers join us each year in South Korea. That experience has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d be happy to share everything I know about Korea, from its history and religion to the challenging work culture, and even our natural beauty and thoughts on North Korea. I’m also really into documentaries, open-ended films, R&B, social innovation, and anything related to food and drink. I’m easygoing and love trying new things. If it works out, I might be able to offer hosting as well.
