Hey lovesss! I’m iA from Korea! I started the Couch surfing since 2014. Even though I’m not the fan of new monthly fee policy for the website, this website changed my life :)
I have travelled countries around the world staying on someone’s couches, met so many awesome people who now became great friends of mine. I hosted for a year while I was living in Germany, then I hitchhiked from Germany to Vietnam on 2016 with the NGO I founded called ‘Spicyroad’. The organization was to support refugee, immigrant women.
I came to Vancouver at the end of 2017 to work to save money to travel entire America, but somehow felt home instantly. So here I am trying to figure out day to day life :)

I came out of the traumatic relationship during pandemic. So with Covid and depression from the trauma, I’ve been isolating myself and draft apart from friends. Now, starting to feeling more like myself, I would love to meet more people and start to host again :)
