NAME

My name is Sangye, so do not call me Sang. (Sang means Interactive and Ye means talented... which is based on Chinese written.) Sometimes people call me Sunny. It's from crowded, noisy, busy club in L.A. There's big Korea town and one Korean American confused my name and call me Sunny...(our conversation started in Korean language) and I answered... "okay. never mind. Just call me Sunny!" That’s where my English name is from. Some people said its like stripper name..., but it's okay.I like Bright sun and its energy. If you are hard to pronounce my name, then it's okay to call me my club name. I prefer my real name tho.

CAREER

I graduated from univ in 2017, start to work as an editor. From April 2023, change work as an AI designer. My main role is making artificial intelligence more human by doing prompt engineering. It's quite different, but there's a context. If you listen carefully, my career story will be quite interesting.

PERSONALITY

Many people describe me as Energetic person. well, yes!
I'm energetic and always looking on the bright side of things. I'm very outgoing and adventurous.
I'm barely stuck at home and more likely move as much as possible. You're not living if there are no risks in life.

I don't stay mad for too long at all since I don't need that negativity in my life so don't be surprise if I'm in a happy mood the next day lol I love a good laugh and know how to have a good time.

Weakness? Wanna be more laid-back and simple, relaxing. Help me if you can :) and I don't like boring things.. love making joke therefore it doesn't look like serious time to time. But I'm serious when needed.

So... I speak what's in my mind. I'm not hiding myself and if there's some trouble between us, I'm more likely telling You what I feel and then try to solve current problem for future.

"Tons of energy, knowledgeable to talk about any topic and brave girl who jumps into adventures all the time."
That's one host made for me and this is one of My favorite reference!

I try not to stereotype as I experience more things..

TRAVEL
I love traveling alone with my purple backpack. The experiences of learning from travel make me strong and independent. I sometimes go through bad things. I want to give up everything, but life goes on. It is called Resilience. I value local things and new languages when I travel.

WORKOUT
I'm always up for a good workout and I'm not afraid to go out of my way to do what's best.

Definitely it's not an easy thing to do, but I feel so good when I keep exercising in sweat. I am into workout. Let me know anytime if you need some workout in Seoul! I could bring you running session or sports event in Seoul.

I have experienced ... riding, running, trekking, climbing, bouldering, Camping, fishing, paragliding, SCUBA diving, Snorkeling. I was in charge of Pacemaker of 8K marathon in Busan city.
I'm doing a diet challenge, so I don't eat heavy food.

YOUNG WILD AND FREE
I love to party! Nightlife is one of my pleasure when traveling. I tried many club including Seoul, Daegu, Tokyo, Osaka, Takamtsu, Matsuyama, Yanbian, Bangkok, Chaing Mai, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Tai Pei, Luang Prabang, Istanbul, Antalya, Macau, Berlin, Plovdiv, L.A, San Jose, SF, Okinawa, Barcelona, Roma, Milano... oh, city is not only place to have party! Forest, Beach, park, those are better!

I'm single traveler then who I go with? Most of them, I went club alone and made new local friends because I don't want be bothered and good at hangout with Myself and making new friends. I could took you Korean club during you stay if I have free time.

💛About Hosting people.. 💛
IF you want to stay at my place then please kindly write this on your first line of the message "I like banana" ... I have many requests all the time. But most surfers they don't read host profile... which means they use CS only to save their budget. That's definitely non-sense. I'll just decline those requests without any excuse. There's a lot more information at my Home session. you MUST Read it before u ask. In addition, I cannot host a person who has no references.

I'll be happy if you speak a language that I intend to learn.

👿I DO NOT want to meet freeloader and thief.

This is my ideal app. Because... I'm into LOCAL culture. Therefore main reason being on CS is to meet local people and experience local cultures. I used to travel alone and got many help. It will be good chance to take it back to people.

Let's get together and talk about us and our life. It will be much better if its not a superficial conversation.
