Hi, I am very glad to meet you. my name is Ally Seoyoung Kim, or you can go with Ally. I’ve lived in Gangneung City on the east coast, for my work since 2007. My hometown is Seoul so I can offer you information about Seoul and other cities that I have been to as well. At this moment, I am quite proud of living in Gangneung city. I love the beauty and peace this coastal city brings to me .

I have been working at Korea South-East power corporation for 17 years. So far I have been assigned to several areas at work, and currently I am responsible for finance.

As for my personality, I am more of an calm, gentle and kind person.And I enjoy adventures when it comes to traveling. I enjoying having a lovely time with people but it's also nice for me to be on my own as I can make use of the silence doing meaningful things.

The reason why I am on CouchSurfing is because I've gotten to see a new world from my guests and friends, which is a soulful thing. I work full-time on weekdays so it's hard for me to travel abroad, only once a year on average, so this app's been a bright middle ground in my life to meet diverse people. It might be hard for us to hang out together during day time, but we can organize a meetup via dinner or a half day trip on the weekend. I see it through that spending time with people from different cultures is the most charming way for me to be able to create.

As far as my hobbies go, I like reading, practicing Yoga and travelling. Actually it's quite many that they make my life quite busy along with my work.

I look forward to meeting cool people from all around the world! If you'd like to stay at my house, have a meal together, or just to ask for information about traveling in South Korea, please message me and I will answer you with sincerity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I applied for Homestay program during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Fortunately, I stayed with a couple of foreign friends and it was such blissful moments in my life.
This became a motive for me to be on a member of Couchsurfing, meeting new people, introducing traveling information, sharing ideas and having lots of fun and meaningfulness.

I work full-time on weekdays so it's hard for me to travel abroad so this application has been a bright middle ground in my life. I see it through that spending time with people from diverse cultures is the most pleasant and charming way for me to do, even by exchanging conversations in the evening.
