I'm 28 years old and just moved to Portland, or from brooklyn, ny.

Last year I decided to travel more and since then I have been blessed with so much more. I've always been "lost" and wandering around but my travels have finally helped me with an end goal. After seeing some of Frank Gehry's work I've decided to become an architect to build for a better future. But part of me just really wants to work with plants. Deciding between a career architect and a plant/sculpture studio.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always wanting to meet new people and trying to travel the world. I've recently change how I view life. "We shouldn't be spending so much money on things, instead they should be spent on experiences". After hearing that, I decided I want to travel and learn more about the world through meeting people and experiencing their culture.
I’ve been through a traumatic experience this summer so I’m in Korea for a month to find my roots. I’m an Korean American, can speak the language, know a little of the culture but I feel like I’m culturally lost with Korea.
