Having lived in 5 countries and traveled to 18 others, I've had my fair share of adventures including riding the world’s biggest hot air balloon in Sweden, piloting an airplane in South Korea, climbing Mt. Fuji and hiking High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, etc.

I'm also a certified scuba diver and an avid foodie.

I received a lot of help from other CSers when I traveled so this time I want to pay it forward^^.

What you need to know:

*IMPORTANT: DO NOT send a request. You must send me a message first. Otherwise I will just decline your request

1. Solo female only. NO exception. Why do men keep sending me requests? I'm not gonna change my mind just because you're Muslim or vegan or whatever you claim you are.

2. I live in a residential area which is about 5 minutes walk to the nearest bus stop. From there it takes about 5 minutes by bus to a subway station in Seoul. It might be a bit complicated for those who are not familiar with taking buses in Seoul so please make sure you have internet on your phone or know how to use Naver/Kakao map to navigate.

3. I can only host for 2 nights max.

4. I only have one key to my apartment but I'm usually home before 10pm so shouldn't be a problem. Please come back before 11pm.

5. Because of my busy schedule I probably will not have time to show you around :( so it would be better if you already have your own plans. If our schedules match we can have dinner or something^^.

6. No smoking or drugs. This goes without saying but gotta state the obvious still

Great job if you reach this point! Please message me first (DO NOT send a request) and let me know that you read and ok with the above. Welcome to Seoul!
