CURRENT MISSION

Live at this moment

ABOUT ME

I feel alive when backpacking and meeting new ppl and culture. I love trying new experiences and meeting locals or backpackers on trip. I've been to 75 cities in 33 countries so far and I still have so many places to want to go!

I was lucky to be an exchange student in Moscow in 2006 and the cheap round trip ticket let me have the opportunity to travel in Europe twice (summer and winter). Also thanks to my aunt who lives in Edmonton, Canada I had a chance to study English for 8 months there. During that time, I traveled to the big cities in US, Mexico and Cuba. Now that I am working all the time and have only 15 day vacation per year so I am trying to make a trip to closer places from Seoul. But one day I will have my own business so that I can travel all over the world without time limit :D

PHILOSOPHY

appreciate every moment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I haven't crashed on anyone's couch yet.
But I hosted once and it was pretty awesome experience! I'm hopeful I have more chances to host and couchsurf in the near future.
