CURRENT MISSION

It is important to stay active, isn't it?

ABOUT ME

I finished the master of biology and am working as a product researcher in a cosmetic field.
just LOVE travelling with a big backpack out of my country and hanging around with good buddies in my town also.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. (Albert Einstein)

If youth only knew: if age only could. (Henri Estienne)

There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval. (George Santayana)

The important thing I have kept in my mind for my entire life is that every person has his/her own philosophy so don't get people changed just in favor of you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While planning my own trip to America, I've got noticed that my priority depends on meeting as many people as possible. Although living in South Korea right now, I can do more things on the Internet. I started to search the website that I can sign up, and then I found out what I am participating now.

besides I joind some communities- Korean study club, Travel companion, Toronto. I'm looking up other interesting groups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had surfed amazing people lots of times specially during my stay in USA(it was 70 days long and from the east coast to the west coast through over ten cities!!)
met various kind of friends, got to the hidden spots with them, had parties...

I'd love to keep making CS experience with you guys here in Korea. Unfortunately,on weekdays I am not able to host you and have lots of time to hang out, either but... I would be able to make out on the weekends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love looking around traditional markets all over the world. It makes me feel being a native and It is really marvellous.

Another thing is contemplating at the riverside in Istanbul. As I remember, It was in the way to Dolmabahςe Saray, a famous palace. With a cloudy whether, I felt something strange in good sense. I was with lots of birds, seeing Bosporus Str. I find it really hard to explain my emotions at that time. I am just sure that it was a wonderful experience.

oh, it reminds me of another awesome experience. during my stay in a small town of Turkey, fortunately, I spend a whole week there that has Turkish traditional holidays. I just walked around a strange city alone and got to stop at a house where guys were killing a cow and cutting it into some pieces by themselves. it was the first time for me to see people killing a cow EVEN AT HOME, which made me shocked. I froze for a while there, that family let me in their home and got me some of traditional snacks and teas. They were so kind that I really liked them. Anyway, I heard killing a cow at home is a kind of a ceremony in Turkey:-) just incredible.

I can teach my friends Korean language, cultures , and how to play violin.
