Overview
About Me
Hey!
I am an enthusiastic traveler and a student in a multicultural ethnic melting pot that is London.
Although it may not seen as true at the first sight, but I am very easy to get along with and an amiable person once you get to know me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet other fellow travelers and share experiences :)
Interests
My biggest passions are travelling, capturing the world through the lenses of my camera and learning languages.
Travel is freedom.
Languages are the key to understanding human's soul.
Photography is preserving valuable moments.
I am generally keen on: walking long distances, admiring architecture, observing people's behavior and lifestyle; cultural awareness and immersion, running, as well as some heavy stuff like world politics or behavioral and forensic psychology. I am also very inspired by Spanish literature and Asian cultures (particularly, Korean history, literature, films and politics).
