About Me

Born in Korea and raised in England since the age of four. I grew up in Manchester but have been living in London for the past four years.

Korean-British 교포 not 유학생.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and undertaking new experiences.

Would also like to meet new people in London.

Interests

Football (soccer). If you're a football fan, then we'll definitely get along - even better if you're a Man United fan! I also enjoy a range of other sports such as basketball, tennis, golf and handball.

I like to sing and listen to acoustic music.

Enjoy having intellectual conversations and debates, particularly about current affairs and the global economy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a year abroad in the motherland! Although I was born in Korea, I have no living memory of living there because I was too young when my family moved to England. At Seoul National University, I was able to meet people from more than 20 countries around the world, as there were around 400 other exchange students.
