About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, but funny and kind of spontaneous guy. I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. I studied one semester as an exchange student at University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. After the semester, I traveled without money by hitch hiking and playing guitar on the street (so called busking) around Europe.
I've done an internship in San Francisco and am going back to Korea after 9+months internship. I'm planning to travel East Coast roughly for 2 weeks this winter with my sister who just finished working in Tokyo.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. - Henry David Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was traveling in Europe, many CSers helped me and we had such a great time. After I came back to Korea, I hosted awesome CSers from the world. Then my awesome friend Alex hosted me in San Francisco and we have been hanging out more than 8 months. I participate in CS events in San Francisco from time to time, such as Pub crawls and random meetups.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done busking several times with guitar in a lot of cities in Europe which was truly amazing watching people enjoy my music. Hitch hiking in Europe was pretty awesome experience. Sunset at Santorini island was a breathtaking scenery. And driving on California Highway 1 was pretty impressive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can introduce Korean culture, places to visit language (or Japanese) and whatever information you want. Also I can teach basics of playing guitar. Above all we can share our experience in our life.
