CURRENT MISSION

Be wise and fearless.

ABOUT ME

In recent years, I have been trying to figure out who I am, what I could do to contribute to the betterment of society and hapiness of people I love.

To be honest, I'm half a nerd and half a bohemian. I am a hard-working designer, used to be a nerdy ametuer cook (I wrote some blog posts about testing recipes created by artifical intelligence, IBM's Chef Watson. --> www.daljiblog.wordpress.com) and an avid yogi. But I think it's about time to take a challenge to put myself in new environments, out of my comfort zone.

So I'm going to leave the corporate rat race for a while, and take a sabbatical year from 2018.
I'm thinking about visiting Southern Italy, France and Germany in Feb and March as a beginning.

I love talking with interesting and mindful people who have deep interests in humanity, technology, and design. I can share whatever I can give (thoughts, kindness, also I can cook for you) to hosts, and I'd like to share my invaluable moments during this trip with wonderful people.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about Couch surfing from the Taiwanese movie, Taipei exchanges, and joined this website from then but I haven't couchsurfed yet but have hosted guests at my place in Seoul.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My guests were one of the most interesting people whom I ever met in my life. They were well-educated, sociable and most of all, self-directed, and they inspired me a lot.

Interessen

I might not get out of my nerdy or hard-working lifestyle for a while (I have been in the rat race for quite a while..) so I might be working or studying during my trip, but I would really love to spend my time with hosts having a coffee or beer, practicing yoga or meditating. Those are my favorite things in the world!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I wrote some blog posts about testing recipes created by artificial intelligence, IBM's Chef Watson and I learned a great deal about cooking, healthy eating habits and a bit of machine learning. I think food and cooking is one the most important things in life, not only to live but also to be happy. I did not know anything about machine learning or technology behind the engine at the time I tested those recipes, but I'd like to know more about it and I'd like to create something similar with it by myself.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

As I have worked as a corporate designer for years, I can help you with some design works if you need. Also, I can cook some bizarre dishes for you you've never heard before.
