About Me

Hi there, I am a global citizen from South Korea, who's lived in 6 different countries and been to more than 50 countries. I work at international organizations like the United Nations (UN) and used to freelance as a news reporter for the Korean Government Broadcasting Service (KTV).

I LOVE exchanging cultures and traveling around the world to get out of my comfort zone and to experience something new. Looking forward to meeting you in person!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling abroad, I make news reports on international affairs, different cultures, and any interesting events or activities. So I would love to mingle with local people to learn about the authentic culture and different perspectives.

I hope to meet nice people who I may become friends with and keep in touch for good. Whenever I am back in my country, I also occasionally host my foreign friends at my family's house as my parents are super open-minded and always welcome guests! :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having visited my friends in the US all the way from Europe twice within a couple of weeks and gone bankrupt because of the trips... Well, YOLO. To me, my friends and time are so much more valuable than money.
