Hi guys,
I'm Sonya from Korea.

Short story
I've been on the road since 24th, Dec, 2012.

Long story
I used to work at an office, lived normal life as others.

One day, I decided to travel around the world, quitted my job which I enjoyed very much, took a ferry from Korea to Russia, tavelled Russia by Siberia express train. I crossed over to Estonia by bus, travelled Eastern and Southern Europe...

That's how my trip begins.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew about Couchsurfing at the beginning of my travel. But I hadn't tried it even once. I was scared to speak in English, felt so small when I speak in English. I still don't have any confidence with my English. But I've met a lot of nice people on the road. And they gave me deep impressions. I want to meet various people, hear various stories.

Interests

Travel, People, Movies, Musics, Books, Foods, Wines, Cooking And Eating, Teaching Korean And Learning Spanish ... etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of time I listen to pop music. I like picking up some music on the street while I travel or stealing from others.
I like songs it contains particular city or country too.
Like Jamaican in New York, Istanbul pas constantinople, Copacabana....
I also like songs which has meaningful lyrics.

I didn't really enjoy to read when I was kid. I guess I was 20-21 to start many books with joy
The Blue Day, Sherlock Holmes, Screw it, Let's do it, Tuesday with Morries, Perfume.............

I'm a big fan of movie but it's hard to watch many movies while I travel.
Bandits(German film), Love me if you dare, The shining, Million Dollar baby, Ray........
