Overview
About Me
Hello, I'm traveling around the world now. I want to experience more things through this trip and become a better person with a wide range of knowledge.
I've been traveling for about 3 months now, and I've been thinking about what I like. It's much more fun for me to meet new friends, talk with them, hang out with them, and cook with them than to look around famous tourist attractions.
I am really interested in how different people around the world live. I'll be very happy if you tell me about your life :)
Also I'll tell you about myself.
I think there're a lot of things we talk about!
February 2023, I finished my duty in the Army for 18 months. And I worked in a construction site to prepare this travel. I want to travel around the world, meet various people, and experience how they live in person.
I usually travel without a plan, so I will be able to fit what you want as much as possible. If there's anything you want to do with me, I'll be happy to do it with you.
When I go back to Korea after this trip, I will definitely host people. Just as the hosts I met gave me unforgettable experiences, I want to be that person to others...! I'm already excited just imagining it haha
Philosophy
Golden rule.
It's a word that I like and I try to keep.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to see up close what kind of life the locals of the country I travel to live.
And when I get my house, I really want to share my house with travelers.
Interests
I love everything about food!!
Actually, I'm traveling for my experience of food.
Trying various dishes and beverages(also alcohol too), cooking, visiting local restaurants, and trying spices I've never seen.
And I love listening to music.
Especially, Rock music. I love Rock, and I love people who likes rock music.
Sometimes, I spend many hours digging up indie songs.
Also, I love many genres, too. Like classic, jazz, old pops, etc...
I love games. Especially video games and board games.
If you have any game we play, we can do it together. I'll do it passionately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just a few months ago, I completed 18 months of compulsory service in the Army.
My job was managing explosives as a military engineer.
When I was in the army, I went through a very hard time because I haven't been home for eight months. There was no delicious food, no alcohol, nothing to enjoy. At that time, I made a lot of alcohol under my bed without anyone knowing. Even there were 8 roommates in room!
And I also worked at a big construction site to build an Internet data center. I was a worker who installing huge electrical devices. It was a dangerous job working at a high place.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach Korean and how to make Korean foods briefly
Now I have a Korean card game called "go-stop". So if you're interested in it and want to know, I'll teach it. We can play it during all nights, hahah.
I want to learn how to make courage to be sociable.
And I want to learn new recipes!! I only know how to make some Korean foods and some pastas. I want to expand my recipe list.
Also, I want to be more fluent in English. And want to know some words and phrases of country I'm traveling
What I Can Share with Hosts
If there is a place where I can buy basic Korean cooking ingredients, I can cook for you. And if you have an interest in Korean, I can teach you a little bit.
I have a Korean card game, go-stop🎴
