I grew up in two very different backgrounds: Seattle and Seoul, and recently went to the Netherlands as an exchange student. Going through abrupt changes in culture has really given me the chance to think about my own opinions and form a personality I'm comfortable with. Thanks to the experiences I have with amazing people, I'm learning more about myself everyday.

Where there is love there is life ♡

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I have some favorite non-mainstream Korean music that I would love to introduce to you. Having an older brother and two music loving parents, I enjoy diverse music ranging from Arcade Fire to ABBA to Queen. I also love classical music (I play the flute)

At one point in my life these were my favorite movies and books
Movies: Lion King, Sound of Music, Her
Books : Holes, Kite Runner, Siddhartha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from the Netherlands to Spain; an accomplishment for someone who had been afraid to go to Europe after watching Taken. Not only did I overcome one of my biggest (and silliest) fears, I learned to sleep comfortably in a gas station, listen to the lyrical sounds of different languages, and became permanently addicted to the pleasure of traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts
