About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a half-Chinese, half-Korean girl who was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I'm only really fluent in English because my Chinese and Korean isn't very good, which is why I wrote that I'm "learning" Chinese and Korean. I'm mostly conversational in my two mother tongues though so I'm not a complete beginner :). I studied French all throughout high school and took a few courses in university but forgot a lot of it. Would love to be able to practice with someone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently graduated from university in June and I'm doing a 6-week Europe trip from Sept 7 to Oct 22 before starting to look for an internship/full-time job in UI/UX design. I will be stopping by London, Paris, Bruges, Ghent, Netherlands, Berlin, Munich, Interlaken, Lucerne, Venice, Florence, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Porto, and Lisbon. I love to meet new people to learn about other cultures and languages! It would also be fun to be able to get to know locals and get my first Couchsurfing experience!

Interests

I studied music in university (flute) but also play piano, some guitar, and some ukulele. I like to sing, although I'm not that great at it. I also love dancing! Eating is also one of my passions and I'm one of those people who will take photos of every meal just so I can remember it. I enjoy photography too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you music, a little bit of Korean and Chinese, and share my experiences in each of the countries I've visited and also my experiences as a Canadian native and what the culture is like. I could also cook some Korean/Chinese foods if you'd like!

I love learning new languages and cultures. I'd love to hear about your experiences as a local or about your experiences traveling/living abroad. :)
