ABOUT ME

Eun-sook: Born in 1955. Slender and pretty. Nice personality. Wanted to have a job but happened to be a housewife to take care of my husband and children.

- We met in Spring, 1976 and married in Ocober, 1980.

PHILOSOPHY

Eun-sook: 1. Carpe diem! 2. Love myself! I sacrificed myself too much for future and family. I do not want to do that anymore. I want to have a fun life and time for myself at least from now!

Eun-kyung: Do my best, cut your coat according to your cloth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Eun-sook: Our daughter introduced this to me! And it was great!

Eun-kyung: I want to do couchsurfing rather than traditional trip because I think I could learn more such as food, cultrue, life style, etc. Also If you have a chance to visit to Korea I will invite you eagerly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Eun-sook: I have been in Hokkaido, Japan in 2011 with my daughter. During traveling, I stayed at the apartment of Amanda, English teacher at the Hokkaido, for 2 days and had dinner with her. It was very refreshing, comfortable and fun!

Eun-kyung: I didn't have such an experience but wife has. She had been Japan 2 years ago with my daughter during 2 weeks tour.

Interests

Eun-sook: These days, I a¢m quite interested in making money, especially managing my assets for our old age. And since I was young, I loved any kind of dancing like hip-hop, ballet, aerobics, sports dance- specially rumba, cha-cha-. Dance definitely makes my heart beat!

Music, Movies, and Books

Eun-sook: I like to listen to semi-classical music but I listen Korean-pops more to watch dances with them. Recently, I started to learn singing with my husband but I think I am not that good because I am having a hard time of only breathing in and out properly.
I mostly like thriller and horror movies. Lately, I watched 'Les miserable' but I prefer older version because it was more tensed, I think. I read any kinds of book unless it is too stiff and dry.

Eun-kyung: I love sing a song as well as listen to music and 'Moon and six pence'is one of interested book which I read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eun-sook: The most amazing thing was when I gave birth to my child. I was the most special experience. I can not not explain the feeling I felt that moment but I am sure I would hardly feel the same way ever. The second one is when I went to Maui for my husband is prize at the company. It was so luxury that I never expected. I was quite surprised and enjoyed it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Eun-sook: I am quite good at cooking. I do some of dances, sports dance, Korean dance, pop dance. What is yours? I would like to teach, learn and share!
