I was born in South Korea but grew up in the Netherlands. I love to explore the world and to meet interesting people with different views on life to learn from. I worked in India giving workshops to IT students to motivate them to pursue their careers, which was such an amazing experience. Lived for three months in a women's house where I met the most wonderful open-hearted people.

To go back to my roots I studied Korean and Strategic management in Korea, where I lived for two years. Making life time long friends from all over the world has been most valuable to me.

After getting a little home sick to Dutch life, I moved back to Amsterdam. It's an amazing city which I like to explore. I also try to get to know interesting new places. There is an amazing Surinamese food court near my house. Twice a week I go kickboxing and to Caribbean Zumba class. I would be happy to take you with me. I like to roam around the city going to musea or new gigs. Also love to play board games.

Currently I moved to Amsterdam South, which is a quiet neigbourhood near the Pijp, where old people live. I would love to meet people who want to experience Amsterdam from a local point of view. Have interesting conversations about life and travelling. Especially in summer there is so much going on in the city, free festivals, music events, outdoor movies. If you like to join me for those kind of events, watch a movie or play some board games, then approach me. If you are trying to save money and want to party get drunk and stoned, then I'm not the best match.
