CURRENT MISSION

Make a better world, live in a sustainable way

ABOUT ME

Hi, My name is Yeji.
I'm a community builder. I loved working for coworking communities. That's my passion. I visit coworking spaces wherever I go and I'm trying to write about it through a book.
I love exchanging inspirations, learning new things, having experiences broadening my perspective. I'm keen to listen to stories. I wanna be a good storyteller and good listener.
I hope my life can help make at least one person's life better.

PHILOSOPHY

Make actions and words same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS really helped me a lot since getting to know people is the most important part of my travel. I really appreciate the community here and people I met through CS. I wanna be both a good surfer and a good host like the friends who showed me the way first.
I also love hosting since it makes me feel like I'm traveling without leaving home.
