About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A new experience everyday

ABOUT ME

Back in South Korea, living in Chungcheongnamdo, been in Korea about 3 years in total.

I'm easy to get along with, relaxed and always keen to try new things. These days I'm really enjoying immersing myself in one culture - Korea. But perhaps my next stop - Japan or Canada??

Sometimes I like to be lazy, but most of the time I like to keep myself busy - marathon training, Korean study, traveling.

I don't judge things too quickly and give anything a fair chance. I like to get to know somebody genuinely well and am interested in what people have to show me.

PHILOSOPHY

Try and make one new experience everyday, even if it's just small. This will make everyday memorable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you want to visit Seosan, a small town in the middle of Chungcheongnamdo province, South Korea, I would consider hosting people or meeting up.
I'm also looking to meet travel more around Korea, and meet interesting people.
