About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the moment as you want & Be Positive.

ABOUT ME

I am an inspiring girl living in South Korea. I really like listening to music and learning to play the musical instruments. I can play the piano, violin, ukulele, drum, and Korean traditional instrument 'Kayakum'. I major in music education. Also, I am interested in many other cultures all over the world. I can teach you speaking Korean a little like "Anyeonghaseyo(It means "Hello")".
I am trying to be passionate and positive all the time. Also I do my best to respect all the people and their cultures. If you come to my house or you invite me to your place, I will try to respect everything. Trust me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read the books about couchsurfing and I found the CS is a great community that makes all the people in the world gonna be friends. I hope to experience many cultures with many friends from other countries.
I welcome all the friends from other countries to Korea. I am happy to meet and hang out with you and share the cultures.
Let's be the global friends :)

Interests

I am interested in music and travelling. I was travelling aound the Europe for 33 days in 2014 summer. I met many nice people and had a couchsurfing chance. My host was so nice and he helped me a lot. Also, when I was traveling to Latin America in 2015, I met good friends and they helped me a lot. We talked a lot and shared each other's culture and we could be good friends! I'm expecting to meet many global neighbors while traveling.
My favorite music genre is jazz. I hope to talk about music with many people in globe.
Also I'm a teacher in elementary school. To be a good teacher, I want to experience many cultures to have an open mind.
