About Me

I’m a psychologist with a deep passion for travel—it's my personal therapy and the best way for me to recharge and learn about the world. I’ve been lucky enough to explore amazing places like China, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, the USA, and many others, but Seoul has truly stolen my heart. There’s something about the energy of the city and its mix of tradition and modernity that keeps drawing me back.

For me, traveling isn’t just about visiting new places; it’s about immersing myself in different cultures and connecting with people from all walks of life. I love learning how different environments shape us, and I believe travel can teach us things that no textbook ever could. Whether it’s through deep conversations or simply sharing a meal,

I’m laid-back, open-minded, and genuinely excited to meet new people wherever I go. When I’m not working or traveling, I enjoy learning about psychology, personal growth, and anything that makes us more connected to each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I’m passionate about traveling in a way that’s more meaningful than just checking off tourist spots. For me, the best part of traveling is connecting with locals and getting a genuine feel for the culture, traditions, and daily life in the places I visit. Hotels and hostels are great, but they can sometimes feel disconnected from the essence of a place. With Couchsurfing, I get to stay with people who live there, share stories, and often gain insights that I never would’ve discovered otherwise.

I also love the idea of Couchsurfing as a cultural exchange. It’s about meeting new people, learning from them, and sharing my own experiences. Whether it's exploring hidden gems in a city, or simply chatting about life, Couchsurfing offers the chance to see the world through someone else's eyes. It’s these connections that make travel more personal and memorable for me.

Ultimately, Couchsurfing is a way for me to expand my horizons, build friendships across the globe, and share in the spirit of adventure and discovery. It’s less about where I stay and more about the people I meet along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I’ve done include living in a van on the beaches of Hawaii for a week, which was an incredible way to experience nature up close and embrace a simpler, nomadic lifestyle. Another unforgettable moment was going on a manta ray night dive—being underwater in the dark surrounded by these graceful creatures was absolutely surreal. I also embarked on a two-month adventure through Asia, exploring diverse cultures and landscapes. Each experience pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me unforgettable memories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I’m happy to share my time, experiences, and whatever knowledge or skills I have! I love engaging in meaningful conversations, whether it's about travel, culture, or life in general. I admit that sometimes I'm a little bit of a loner and I also enjoy spending time with myself, so I won't bother you too much :)

Beyond that, I can share stories from my own travels, and if you’re interested, I’d love to hear yours too! If you’re into outdoor activities, music, or exploring new spots in your city, I’m all in. My goal is to make the stay a two-way experience, where we both walk away with something new—whether it's a new perspective, or just a great memory.
