Hi I'm Claire from south Korea. My Korean name is Jiyoung Han, either names are okay to be called! I go to university right now, and my major is social welfare and theater. I'm really interested in experiencing new things, and that's why I just started couch surfing.
I'm a really open minded person, with no discrimination, always try to be receptive to other culture, people, and environment. I'm really looking forward to dive into a new world with my new friends from here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First, because I love to meet new people, talk with them about various kinds of topics in a new environment.

Second, because I love to experience new things, not a typical conventional things, but a new unique things.

Lastly, because I don't work yet, It's a great way to meet people, go through new experiences, and save money when I go on a trip. And after I come back to my country, I'm really willing to host the couch surfing to my friends from all different places. Really want to give them a wonderful experience in Korea too!

Interests

I love all kinds of art, so love to explore museums and theater arts-especially musical-and go to the places with great music. Plus, I love to try all different kinds of craft beer. I'm a huuuuuge fan of beer, so if I get a chance, it'll be fantastic to chill with my couch surfing hosts with delicious beer!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love R&B music. Love jazz and slow jam as well in general. I'm not saying that I'm a professional at those kind of music, but love to enjoy it. My favorite artist is Eric Benet, and love Brian McKnight too.

In terms of Movies, I love all kinds of movies. Under the influence of my dad, I love science fiction as well, and really love batman series and spiderman series too.
