About Me

Upcoming Traveling Plan

CURRENT MISSION

The world should be much closer than now.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and meeting new people. I love sharing my stories as well as listening to your stories. The reason why I worked as a journalist for seven years involves this personality.
Also, I feel happy when people call my name. I don't know why but feel so happy that time.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't write down ideas and feelings you have right now, It will disappear.
Writing is a part of my life. It leads my life and future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend of mine let me know this incredible one and I decided to join.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is an amazing tool to meet nice people. I used to actively host people when I Iived in Korea. I felt a strong responsibility toward surfers visiting Daegu, where it is my hometown, and showed them around the city. It is because they couldn't find much information from LONELY PLANET!

Here are some articles that I wrote a few years ago based on my experience. Google Translate may help you understand Korean : D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I was in Laos where it is located in Eastern Asia I was really shocked because of local people. they never hurried up. They didn't push others to do something. I learned from them how to wait and stay calm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know techniques when it comes to flexibility, physically and socially. Regarding physical flexibility, practising yoga and pilates every day will help you enhance it. This logic can apply to the social flexibility. Meeting and talking with diverse people who share different cultural background is a practice to brush up your social flexibility. Just meet people and talk. I'm practising both almost every day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing Korean foods, politics between the North and South Korea (Are you interested in..??)
