Overview
About Me
Hello every couch surfers. It's really nice to meet you at all. My english name is Joe. You can also call me a cup of joe. It's my nick name. For me couchsurfing is a kind of adventure. I'm 27 years old now and I'm still a college student.
My major is electrical engineering but I think my personality is not that well suited to my major haha. I am outgoing and always like smiling.
But most of all, regarding the purpose of why I'm writing this, I would like to learn about and experience other cultures, and as well as get to know people that I haven't met before.
Knowing (learning) how they think and (about their) what philosophy(ies) they have is really important to me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I said before in the article "about me", I really want to learn how people think and act in certain situations, and by exchanging our thoughts I am eager to broaden my depth of understanding of how many diverse thoughts there are in this whole world.
I think it is really important in surviving this tough world to understand and embrace the other thoughts that are totally different with mine.
Interests
I'm interested in anthropology, education, travel, etc.
I think every thing in this world is connected to each other. So I am especially interested when I find a connection.

- history
Music, Movies, and Books
I really really like classical music and pop music. My favorite composers are Chopin and Beethoven.
Because I played piano since I was 8years old, I think that my personal experience lead me to fall in love with music.
Also, I am almost crazy about American pop star like Eddie vedder, Simon and Garfunkel, Moroon5.... hard to mention all of them.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I Took the college entrance exam called "sue neoung (수능)" more than 5 times to enter a prestigious college. There is a long story behind this, and this could be a topic for a longer story that I can tell you if your are interested. because this is deeply related to Korean culture with general thoughts of korean.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to listen up life story from older. That's why I possibly try to choose a host who have family. If every utensil and materials are equipped to cook I wanna introduce korean traditional food. xHowever I am not sure whether you would be satisfied or not.
What I Can Share with Hosts
