Hi there! I'm Cathy, born and raised from Seoul, South Korea.
I love traveling and meeting new people. I'm an open-minded positive person so please be my next new friend with no hesitation :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's one thing I strictly live by. I belive in experiences.
Since I learned and grew up a lot throughout the trips I had so far,
I am going to travel around the globe whenever possible.
And couchsurfing is perfect for people like me, isn't it?
I'd love to hear and be with local people when I'm at somewhere I'm yet familiar with.
And hopefully, if someone from the other side of the globe come to my homeland, I'd be more than happy to give help and be their cool Korean friend ;).

Interests

Since my major in university is graphic design, I'm interested in various parts of design area. What I mostly do is editorial/typographic design. I also do some photograph works as well. Besides, I admire video/music/fine arts.
I have my personal tumblr page where I put some of my workpieces, your interests are always welcomed.

These are some main interests of mine, and I do some covers with my keyboard during my freetime,! love to search for some other cool youtube cover musicians.
Below are youtube links of few of the cover songs I did with my friends! Check'em out if interested ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy pretty much every genre of music, except extra heavy metal and extra heavy electronic types. My favourites are jazz hiphop and acoustic. But I do also love modern pop rock and house music as well. So I have too many favourite artists. Jamiroquai, Sound Providers, Wouter Hamel, James Bay, Fun, Flight Facilities, Olly Murs, Pharrell, Daft punk... AND SO ON.

I grew up with Harry Potter series and Les Miserable (the musical). I love to watch movies, both experimental and general commercial movies! One of my favourites is "Flipped."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made it to enter university with full scholarship covered, since (luckily!) I got good score on Korean SAT. I wasn't a library bug or nerd (no offense! I accept all the differences! Just telling the truth!), but I just did what I had to do without any strong offensive will which many of my friends had during teenage puberty.
Due to this huge luck, I could save up some money which I nowadays use for traveling. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Korean! and korean culture of course, since that's where I'm from. I also have some professional photography knowledges and skills that might interest you. But besides these, I can be your funny friend who can share stories of my life throughout nights with fresh beer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I'm sort of amateur photographer, I always bring at least one kind of camera with me. I can definately take you a slick profile picture if you want! I can send them thru your email ;).
