Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, all the great conversations and spontaneous things that happen through that. Also, I'd love to experience more of a local life when I travel. Thought it'd allow me to see closer to how the locals live

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know how I should really define "amazing thing," but maybe paragliding in Medellín and seeing the underworld (out in the ocean) in an Italian island amazed me. Though I was stuck in that island by accident haha I can tell you that story if you ask me. Anyway, I enjoy the most peaceful moment that the great nature can give!

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe some bad Korean words? Whichever word in Korean you'd want to say, I'll try to help you find the right one haha As I mentioned, I play musical instruments like bass, guitar, drums and what not, and take photos! We'll have to talk and find out what I can really offer you :/

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about where I grew up and my culture; I grew up in Korea for 18 years and have been living in the States for the past 4 years. My cultural aspect is not quite based on the Korean one, but not super American at the same time either. I consider myself a Korean with other culture's influence in my life style.

I play bass and just enjoy different genres of music. I'll share my playlist, that ok?

I take pictures as a hobby. Also, I'm trying to start writing about my trips to all different countries. Hopefully you will be part of my amazing traveling story someday, don't you think!?
