Hi! My name is Jei. I am Korean-American, born raised in Texas. I moved to San Francisco in 2015 when I landed here on my spontaneous road trip. I camped in my car and traveled for three months while visiting more than half of the National Parks in the U.S.A and hiked over 100 trails in 2017. In 2015, I traveled all year and stayed for couple of weeks to months in Korea, Japan, China, and Canada. I was hosted by wonderful people on couchsurfing & do try to give back to the community by hosting myself. My friends describe me as being friendly, fun, outgoing, and chill.

My hobby includes taking photos of landscape or my adventures. Currently I take action shots of the dogs I care for. Feel free to check out my instagram @ venturelust.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging stories. I love meeting those who are like-minded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Riverrafting. Mainly because I don't know how to swim, which could get dangerous. I almost fell out twice but I made it and I faced my fear!
2) 2015 I traveled for the whole year. I even traveled with strangers that I just met. I went all over America, China, Korea, Canada, and Japan during that year. It was also my first time to hitchhike and couchsurf.
3) 2017 I conquered over 100 hikes and traveled and lived in my Honda Fit for 3 months
4) Currently visited 38 out of 59 national parks in America
