Hi, I'm Yehong! Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, I'm philosophy major at Harvard University, studying abroad at the University of Cambridge this spring.

Two summers ago I studied abroad at IULM and the University of Siena in Milan and Siena, Italy. Between pages of Boccaccio and D'Annunzio, I spent my weekends backpacking across Europe and Asia, blogging about my travels along the way. Last summer I lived in New York City, interning as a business reporter for Forbes Magazine. It was a ton of fun exploring the city that never sleeps!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This spring I'm looking forward to backpacking to dream destinations across Europe, and hopefully make some new friends along the way :)
