HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My brother and friends introduced this website to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
my familly accepted couchsurfer 3times. Especially, one of them is my friends from HongKong. We met each other during the trip in Singapore at the guest house. We trip several days together and even after the trip we keep in touch with. And when he came to my place, it was big fun! We had a great memory.
Likewise through couchsurfing i can meet new friends!
And i didn't try couchsurfing before but during the exchange student life in Sweden, i was invited to my friends flat and had a party together or sth! i hope to meet u!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local friends! That way i can have better understanding about your culture. And make new friends!!!!! how nice!! Let' meet together!!

I tripped Europe around 45 days and could stay with 9 different hosts! Was sooo nice that i cant forget their generosity & hospitality! I had really amazing experience with them and other guests!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like acustic sounds or piano sounds. How peaceful?! isn't it? With those kinds of music i can relieve myself when i got some stress from my work. And even when i'm studying, i can more focus on my study with that.

But! I also love fun songs like clubmix especially on Friday night!

Recently I just started to learn playing guitar~ listen band music such as oasis & red hot chill peer and so on~

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

[Hike the snow covered Mt, in Abisko during the windter(April.... yes.... still cold)]
Recently, I hiked mountain in Abisko national park in northern Sweden with my friends. The mountain is all covered with snow. We reached the peek of the mountain and from there we just slided all the way down! was so fun! After that my jacket was a bit torn because of friction :). That was my first time to hike the snow covered mountain!!! Aside from that! I saw the strongest northernlight ever during my whole life in Sweden! It was green/purple and flow all over the sky like the wave~ Can you imagine?! Check my pictures on CS!

in 2015 nov i did skydiving in Lituania, Kaunas!
It was awesome! i can't tell you with this short message!
Let's meet and let's see my picture and video of skydiving with full of excitement at that moment!

Met 9 different hosts during my 45 days trip to Europe(UK, Belgium, France, Swiss, Italy)

Hitchhike in Belgium, France, Swiss, Italy! around 1000km! 7 destinations and met 14 drivers!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sth useful sentences or expression for Korea and your country!

We can share our culture! For example, do you know Korea has different way of counting age! Basically, we start age 1 right after mother give us a birth! Likethis, many interesting cultures about my country!

Or if u are in my age we can talk how's our university life and party life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cook together and share several kinds of Korean foods what we called 'bulgogi' (sweat)or 'bibimbab'(spicy) . i think those two foods are the most popular to foreign friends according to my exchange life here in Sweden :) Moreover I can cook several dessert! Especially tiramisu is the best dessert i can cook! I got special recipe from my Italian friends

Enjoying the party on Friday night! You know? Korean like party! like drink!

Talk together at a coffee shop with the pictures and stories that i got during the trip!

Walk or run through the jogging path! i like almost all kinds of sports. Especially, i like running in each country where i visit. That way i think i can feel more local things!
