Couch Information
Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
No smoking allowed
Has children: No
Can host children: No
Has pets: No
Can host pets: No
Max Surfers Per Night: 1
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: DependsAll depends on.
I've got several rooms, enough blankets, a bed and a couch, but as I mentioned these are available only for someone who I know.
(That's because my parents are really kind, but not familiar with the hosting culture.) I live in Ilsan(specifically Wi city, Siksa-dong) with my parents as most unmarried Korean women do.
So, although the space is enough, it'll be availble to stay over for people who are close to me. Also, our apartment offers special facilities for the residents' guests with small charge, which means if you want you can stay in comfy on your own.
Otherwise, if you're a stranger and no connection with me, we may grab a chance to hang out. I rather to meet a person who is able to hang out in Ilsan area.(since I just got moved in here, so I'm also new about this spot.) I'd wanna catch a film at Lotte cinema in Lafesta and ride a bicycle at Ilsan Lake-park! yay!
Just in case, "Ilsan" is placed in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do and definitely a good place to live but not so touristic place, in my opinion. So, let us just see what's gonna happen to me in the future! lol
***NB : If someone who lives in Wicity Ilsan Blooming apartment, absolutely let me know!!! :-) Friends (8)

Personal DescriptionNow I am on the journey to find myself.
My website will help you to look into about me closely. ; www.sieunsation.com
My nickname SiEunsation is a compound word from my given name SiEun by my parents which means 'First Thanks' and the word 'Sensation'. Since the pronunciation of my first name 'SiEun' is pretty difficult to pronounce for other country people, so I combinded the word 'Sensation' which has similar sound to remember with ease.
Broadly speaking, I am in the graphic design field. It really fits on me and I really love what I do. I have been working as a stationery designer. Not only that but also I have a strong passion for illustration.
Also, I am a travel junkie. I like meet the people from all over the world. Especially, I feel thrilled when I meet a kind of culture shock. (in a good way.) I would like to go to Santiago in Spain carrying with Ukulele (I cannot play yet though.) someday and South America, too.
Furthermore, I like writing as well. Another wish I would like to do later is publishing a book written by me with drawing and photos also by me.
Other miscellanies about me are here :
I like Egon Schiele the painter and Paulo Coelho the author.
I am crazy on Jay Brannan and Mika the singers.
I am a big fan of The Simpsons the animation.
I like Wentworth Miller and Aoi yu the actor and actress.
I like living in other countries for more than one month with unexpected people.
I like sneaking to listen people’s talking in English, but not for the reason study.How I Participate in CSI read an article about the CS project on some travellers' blogs by accident. Then, I thought that it'd be fun to share interesting things with and it'll be cool to find someone who lives near around me.InterestsYou will be able to know about me better if you have interests in me. :^)

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you. References (6)6Positive 0Neutral 0Negative

May 24 Positive Sieun is so awesome, always up for doing something fun. First time i met her she ordered some awesom korean food with my cs host. We then had a few drinks. The other time, she met up at the hongdae park for the live performances. And the last time she met up with me and my friends, we went for korean bbq, thenwaffles ice cream and coffee, followed by a night of drinking games and then at 4 am we went to the fish market and then she ordered some awesome sushime dishes. Shes really nice and friendly and easy to talk to. Your always welcome to cs at mine in the uk.

From Joanne R CHUA Manila, Philippines
Jan 17, 2011 Positive I met Si-Eun when I stayed at Josh's Couch while I was in Seoul where we had a aloe cocktail drink and a Kimchi Bokumbap dinner. We had talked had only met her for just a night but I should say I had maximized the time.
Indeed, she likes taking pictures with her cellphone. She's a cheerful and a smart person--little did I know he had travelled a number of countries including Africa (to which I said Wow!). Si-eun reflects an aura of happiness wherever she goes. Josh, Si-Eun and I had a fun night together sharing our own laughs, stories, the Korean culture in general, and youtube vidoes that includes the an awesome English Rap about Korea and the Filipino gameshow called Wowowee! Finally, Josh and I had a gotten her a hint of something very Filipino. =) I do hope she can meet more people and share her aura of happiness!--she can definitely do it.
 From Josh Sterrett Istanbul, Turkey
Jan 1, 2011 Positive Sieun is one of those people that puts everybody around her at ease. She loves taking photos with her iphone and always tries hard to make sure people are happy. She's really interested in the world around her. If you are in Northern Seoul you should definately look her up
