Very recently I finished my military service(in South Korea, it is mandatory for men to perform military service for 21 months to 24 months ). Before I go back to study at my university next year, I will be travelling Europe. I will visit London, Paris, Interlaken, Venice, Firenze, Rome and several other southern cities in Italy.
I am very much open to all cultures and religions and also enjoy talking about these topics. Also I enjoy talking about philosophical topics. I welcome any kind of debates on any topics.
I like to keep things clean and tidy(hooray for people hosting me). My soldier mates gave me thumb-ups when I cleaned my room. If you want or need help with cleaning, just tell me. My hands and feet are yours.
I love pets. I love dogs, cats, birds, turtles, iguanas, racoons, etc. There are no animals I don't like. If I get to be hosted in a place with dogs, I can walk them with you. I also enjoy taking a walk with cats or turtles :)

My philosophy - Every experience will come in handy someday.
I enjoy experiencing things and believe that in some point of my life, these experiences will be helpful. I love learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was little, I had experience of living in the United States and it was so nice there. Sometimes I slept over at my foreign friends' houses and these memories made me want to stay at homes located in the cities I will be travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

"L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole (from the movie "Parent Trap")
- When I was about 12 years old, I saw this movie and thought its melody was very interesting. I want to sing this song when I live with the person I love.

Not yet found "The Movie" of my life, but I enjoy movies of various genres.
I'll let you know if I find one and tell you about it at your place :)

"8 Words" by Woong-Hyun Park(a famous Korean advertising agent)
- This is a Korean book that my girlfriend gave me as a present. It talks about 8 topics : self-esteem, essentials, classics, wisdom, present(in terms of time), authority, communication, and life. I haven't read it all yet but was so shocked that these rather stiff and formal topics could be discussed in easy words. It allows me to think very deep about myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a full marathon! The whole 42.195 km. I am an athletic person, so I run a lot, but this was a real challenge. I felt the runner's high when I was on my 30km-run.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't have much to teach, but I can surely share my experiences and thoughts with you. If you are interested in Korea, I can tell you about my country's culture, cool places to visit or some Korean phrases.
