ABOUT ME "I am a retired professor of sociology who dedicated 33 years to teaching and researching at a university in Korea until my retirement in 2019. Over the years, I have lived extensively abroad—including two years in Australia, two years in the United States, and a year each in China and Japan—which profoundly enriched my understanding of global cultures. Throughout my life, I have accumulated a wealth of cultural experiences not just through traveling, but also by hosting international guests. As a Couchsurfing member, I hope to continue fostering deep, meaningful cultural interactions with mature and like-minded members. In my free time, I stay active and fulfilled by traveling, reading, swimming, taking slow walks, listening to music, and hiking in the mountains." PHILOSOPHY "Two eyes,two ears,only one mouth" "If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher."(Confucius) “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. (Lao Tzu) "The world is a book and and those who do not travel read only one page"(St. Augustine) "Let it be"
