ABOUT ME

Moving to Seoul on August 2018

I am interested in meeting people from different backgrounds. The important thing is to open mind and have attention to each other for respect.

When I was university student, I had many opportunities to visit many countries by governmental program, internship, research project, and also travelling. Every moment had been invaluable asset to me and I am ready for the adventure during my work and career.

I am a big fan of any art & culture, language, music, theatre, musical, opera, jazz, electronic music, geography, sport, dance, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Il est interdit d'interdire!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I am intersted in international issues & development, andalou economics. I look through news from developing countries and want to work in organization dealing with interational development.

In addition, I am intersted in art & culture. Especially, I like classical music and art movies. I like to play the piano and violin. Also, I like to watch opera, exhibition, play, art films and ballet. In addition, I am open to every culture around the world if it does not violate one's human rights or lives.

These days, I am keen on learning tango and jazz piano.

But, you don't have to be worried that I am not that boring person. I am a bit shy and introvert in the beginning, but I enjoy going to pub and have a conversation each other. Of course I like singing and dancing in the club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

MY experience in Mexico and India was the best in my life. As well as memories in Geneva and Phnom Penh

Teach, Learn, Share

We can talk about book, movie and art. I am intersted in the issues and know quite well about them. Also, I think we can talk abouth the country each other and about international issues. I can teach you piano or violin, also. Language is also the good means for exchange. Of course, I can tell you my story of past experiences and want to hear yours.

If you have anything to teach me, I'd like to learn anything from you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Openness, joyful conversation, knowledge on anything you want(as long as I am aware of), small souvenirs, helping the chores
