About Me

I was born in South Korea and moved to New Zealand when I just turned 6 years old with my family. Lived there for 16 year and completed all my education there (primary, secondary, tertiary).
After graduating in 2010, I moved over to Brisbane, Australia in Feb 2011 and have been working here since. I recently moved up to Sunshine Coast in August 2015 and have been living here since. I love the beach lifestyle!
I try to be as active as I can due to being a physiotherapist, I know how important it is haha :). So whether it's climbing mountains or going for a surf or walking my dog, I try to stay fit. But I love food too much which counteracts my fitness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing purely to meet new and interesting people! It's such a good way to make potential friends and love listening to people's stories about their travel when they come stay or get advice from locals when travelling, especially the ones that you can't read about anywhere!

Interests

I'm pretty open to try anything whether it's an activity or eating food! I love trying new things :)
My main interest would have to be sports whether I'm playing or watching. Huge fan of rugby union (All Blacks of course) and almost every other sport. Snowboarding is also one of my favourite things to do but I haven't had a chance to go often recently.
I've also started to surf and I love the beach!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, Turkey was one of my favourite things I did during my travels. But also can't forget running with the bulls at the San Fermin festival in Spain!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm keen to learn new things such as language, sports, cooking etc. Anything and everything!
I'm a physiotherapist so I am able to help put with any injuries or sore muscles you may have... I'm also pretty good at massages!
I'm also learning to surf so anyone that comes to stay, we can go for a surf together!
