I studied Physics in High School, graduated with a Bachelor in Computer Science, then switched to Marketing and Consulting. Currently, I'm studying a Master's degree in Management at Trinity College, Dublin.

I have spent a large portion of my time and money on traveling. Most of my trips are backpacking style: staying in dorms/hostels or at friends' houses, meeting new people, exchanging stories and ideas, and wandering on foot.  Once in a while though, I get exhausted and decide to spend 2 - 3 days doing nothing but sleeping and reading in a nice hotel near the beach.

I don't talk much. What I do best is to listen and smile. But believe me, I do pay attention and understand what others are sharing. One of the things I enjoy most is hearing stories, especially from the people who used to live them.

Usually, my friends describe me as "positive", "supportive" and "smile a lot". 

My mottos in life are "Think simple, think positive" and "Be awesome!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting and listening to people from different background. They have so much to share. And through their stories, I can learn a lot about their culture, values and definition of “happiness”.

I also believe that sometimes, people who you hadn’t met before can lead you to wonderful experiences. Once, I joined 4 other people from Korea, Japan and US to hike Diamond Head in Hawaii. It was very fun, and motivated me to stay in hostels in the following trips to Hong Kong and Europe. 

I really hope that via Couchsurfing, I can meet new people, make great friends, and also memorable experiences.

I spend around 1 hour each day reading Quora and half an hour to read manga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job to spend nearly half a year to understand myself more by reading books, taking quizzes & self assessments and travelling, … before starting over. That was how I co-founded our current Digital Marketing Agency with a classmate in College.

I booked a flight ticket to Europe, without any plan or visa. It turned out to be a wonderful 2-week trip to France and Italy. 

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Business.

I also would love to listen to your own definition of “Happiness” and what make your eyes sparkle.  

I can share with others my experience in Digital Marketing or how to manage a team/business in the service and education industry. 

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can only share what I know for sure: my own stories and experiences in starting a business, Consulting and Digital Marketing.
