*Post-Covid Updated Profile*

Hello!

My name is Noah and I am from Seoul, South Korea. I am adopted by my American parents and grew up in the United States since I was a baby.

I love to live in the moment as life is happening but am also a big dreamer that looks forward to doing great things! I’m not a very structured person and tend to do things as I think of them. When planning trips, I will have a few places in mind that I really want to see, but everything else is pretty open.

Personality wise, I’m a more quiet natured person but can be l quite sociable at times. I do love to meet new people and listen to their stories. I view traveling as a opportunity to learn and do new things. Partying isn’t much of an interest of mine while traveling as well.

I recognize that the Covid-19 pandemic caused much pain and lots of peoples dreams were not realized or put on pause. I wholeheartedly believe that travel is a privilege, and understand that there are those who will never fulfill their travel dreams even during pre-covid times. It would be an amazing feeling to help those who are determined to travel make their dream a reality come true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing to me is a very exciting way to meet new people. I think that it is a vital to learn about the culture and daily life of those who live in a different country. I think that those who value meeting new people and learning how they live is a super awesome way to live. It definitely makes the world feel like a better place. Also, I think that being able to communicate with couchsurfing hosts and getting to know them will create a friendship that will last a lifetime and experiences that we as individuals will never forget.
