Hi there,

I am On-Sem or...'Awesome' as many friends and strangers call me because the pronunciation is kinda similar.
Anyhow, nice to meet you! :-)

You might wonder where I come from...Well, for the record: I am German on my passport, Korean in blood (is that even an expression?) and international in my heart! Many people asked me before which nation I connect the most, but the longer I live, meet inspiring people, discover new things, my answer to this question becomes harder and harder. So far I lived most of my life in Germany in my home town Wiesbaden, I spent 1 year in Switzerland as an exchange student during my high school years (That is also the reason why I got fluent in French), half a year in France due to my studies, 1 year in Belgium (also because of my studies) and now in the Netherlands where I am currently staying in order to do my bachelor degree in International Business.

If it comes to describing myself on my own, I would first of all mention that I am a foodie. I am able to appreciate good food, taking the time to cook for people I care about (But I don't like so much cooking only for myself) as well as to choose an adequate restaurant which is of quality and style.
Especially, I am in love with sushi, high quality coffee and great wine! And a looot of it! Maybe we can cook together and share some recipes from our country? If I am travelling, I would be the foodie who would inform herself before which coffee places are the best in the whole city! :D

Secondly, I would say that I like music and arts! I believe that the fact that both of my parents are professional musicians contributed to my appreciation and passion for music. In contrary to my parents, I also like other music styles than Classic (My dad is an opera singer and my mom is an organ player) such as electronic music (deep house, techno, dubstep...), Jazz etc. I like to go to operas, theaters, musicals but also to electronic dance parties!

Thirdly, I am a social person. I like to be around people but I also need some private time on my own to organize my thoughts and to reflect on my actions. I like to meet with friends and have some weird ways to meet new people (For example getting lost in my own town and having to ask a stranger to help me to find my way). It is great to have a good talk about our passions, disappointments, good memories, new adventures in life over a nice cup of coffee or a glass or wine! I think that life is a roller-coaster and life taught me that bad things happen out of the blue and that everything around us is mortal and has an ending. So what to do...Appreciate the wonderful time we get to spent here and enjoy the ride!

I hope I was able to give you an idea of who I am and I hope to meet you very soon! Lots of love, On-Sem :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You are travelling and you keep scrolling on Tripadvisor to decide what to do on your journey? Not a bad idea but I got a better one; Couchsurfing. It is great to travel on your own or with your friends but how great would it be if you could meet a 'local' to get a real insight of the place your visiting.

Furthermore, it is exciting for me to meet new people on Couchsurfing and to share our ideas and thoughts with each other.
