About Me

ABOUT ME

Hello everyone, I moved from Seoul, South Korea, to Bochum, Germany, and now I am living in the US to finish my degree. However, I actually grew up in China. Haha, I know, I moved a lot. So I had studied in Korea for around 3 years, did a semester exchange in Germany so that I can travel in Europe for a bit, and now the US. I moved to the US to complete my bachelor degree in finance and possibly work here if any opportunity comes along. I love traveling but unfortunately my Chinese passport isn't very useful when it comes to traveling at all, so I'm taking this program as an opportunity to see this side of the world, and maybe get to know the american culture and society a bit.

In addition to finance, I also LOVE neurobiology and politics, so if anyone shares similar interests, I think we will have a great time on CouchSurfing :)

PHILOSOPHY

The older I grow, the more I realize how important it is to find the balance between personal happiness and contribution to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time doing CouchSurfing when I was travelling in Europe. Met a lot of people with different backgrounds and they were all very friendly and helpful. My hosts in Europe showed me interesting places and secret spots in town so I did not have to be a cliche tourist, and it was the best experience in my life. I look forward to travelling in the US during my program here and explore this side of the world with Couchsurfing.

Interests

I love singing and dancing A LOT! Aside from that, I am very interested in science and politics. Sometimes I find myself debating (friendly debate of course) too much. Just ask my boyfriend haha.

Music, Movies, and Books

TV shows: Game of thrones, House of cards, Breaking bad(one time I accidentally wrote it as breaking bed hahah oops), the League, and some Chinese shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking up and down the Yellow Mountain (Huang Shan), which consists 72 peaks , in China within a day. I walked up and down messed up stone and wooden stairs in the mountain for about 20km. Phew, that was a journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

Rationalizing the people's actions, especially the horrible ones, helps you to forgive. I believe that's how you love yourself and let go.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I'm sure if you are interested in Asian culture especially Korea and China, then I might be able to tell you all the mysteries, history, and traditions about those two countries since I'm a Korean descendant grew up in China. ^ ^
