About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible and be a role model for our little son, Andy

ABOUT ME

Hi!

We are two (or three counting in our little soon-to-be b-boy Andy) individuals enjoying life and what it has to offer as much as possible. We have a nice mix of south korean / vietnamese background blended with the mindset of western philosophy and way of life.

We are very easy going and enjoy eating good food (the asian kitchen is a BIG favorite) and we usually tend to travel far-off distances to the Asian continent (Hong Kong, Vietnam*2, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan so far).

Daniel is working as a Project Manager at IBM in Denmark, whilst Lilian is working as a CAD engineer for a local company in Malmo.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible
Everything is possible
Limits are created by you
You create the limits
Live life to the fullest and never regret your choices
You only live once - who wants to live forever?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are very new to the CS Project, but we hope to share our knowledge and hospitality as much as possible with fellow travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tried the couchsurfing experience a couple of days in Kyoto, Japan, 2009.
We have met some really nice people through CS when we travelled Japan, 2009 and Malaysia 2010. We are looking forward to even more CS experiences in the future

Music, Movies, and Books

We listen mostly to hip hop at the moment, however, we are able to listen to most music. Everything from rock, global music and beats. Vietnamese music is quite favourable as well as korean and japanese.

We love to watch a movie from time to time. Nothing specific, just whatever we might have available.

Daniel used to read books, mostly historical/fiction in his "library".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have seen the amazing scenery of the Sapa mountains as well as the dreamy landscapes of Halong Bay in Vietnam. We took an amazing (and dangerous) city-bike-cab in Hanoi and explored the ruins of the past in the Royal courts of Hue.

We have enjoyed the wonderful Disneyland in Hong Kong, but also experienced the highly populated areas of Mong Kok.

We have been working 2 years in Dublin, Ireland and explored the way of the irish.

And we have both seen the wonders of life, when our little son, Andy, came to this world. Each day with him is amazing.

We have experienced the beautiful scenery of Kyoto and have been humbled to visit Hiroshima. We will miss the noise and bustling city of Tokyo and all the new friends we left there.

We have met wonderful new friends in KL in Malaysia and enjoyed the white beaches of Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, my girlfriend is fluent in vietnamese, both spoken and written form. She is also quite knowledgeable in the area of CAD engineering. Furthermore, she is also very talented in painting, although, she has never gone to a formal training for it.

Daniel is very passionate about photography and is really trying to learn as much as possible. He is also able to provide simple tasks in HTML and is quite IT-literate in general. He is currently pursuing Project Managment certification and might be able to provide knowledge in this area. He also loves to play computer-games, however, that might not be something to teach/share as such ;)
