Open, fun,outdoor, goofy.

I grew up in Seoul, Korea and moved to the US when I was a teen. I worked and traveled but seeing new places has been a priority. I live in New York and travel half of every year. It has been amazing to meet new people and see new places.

I have been a meditator many years and coach / share Vipassana meditation practice with others.

I travel and live outdoor life especially rock climbing and surfing at the moment. I have been skiing all over. I love listening new music and currently into West African music.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it yourself, meet people, build friendship, invest in people, be a perfect optimist. I have been working with my hands; renovating apartments, cooking, helping friends start business, sharing surf boards. I love building and designing.
