Hi there, this is Jinkoo from Seoul, South Korea.

Since international travel has become more active after COVID, I’ve received many messages from Couchsurfers.
However, I’ve recently been very busy with work and often return home late, so my replies during the week may be delayed. I kindly ask for your understanding in advance.

Also, I would like to politely decline requests from travelers under 30 or those without any references.
I’ve had some past experiences with guests who seemed polite online but turned out to be quite stubborn or lacked basic consideration.
Likewise, those who enjoy partying or come home late at night may not be a good match for my place and lifestyle.

If you still sincerely wish to visit my small and humble home, please feel free to message me—especially if you are someone who understands the true spirit of Couchsurfing.
For young travelers without references, I kindly ask you to write a thoughtful self-introduction and share your motivation for traveling in your message so I can better understand you.
Thank you!

============================================================================

Hello, I'm Jinkoo Sung from Seoul, South Korea.
I work for a company related to video content licensing / Monetization.
(And I used to work for music video / TV Commercial production industry.)

Because I've got a lot of interests, I do many activities such as Amateur Djing(Scratch),Rap, traveling, cycling, basketball, reading magazines and many other hipsters ? things. But I'm getting older and trying to focus on meeting CSers and something valuable things.

Especially, I think it is always good to meet Cser who has various insights through travels.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

When I was in London, I saw my flatmates renting a reception room to CSer from New Zealand and I thought it was a really good idea. So, In 2011, I firstly used CS when I visited Osaka. Since then, I have been focusing on Hangout in Korea, but I have been hosting CSer since 2017.

Originally, I'm going abroad more than one or two times a year, but I couldn't go out or host CSers because of the recent pandemic. Recently, I started hosting CSers from Argentina and Switzerland, Turkey and it feels like traveling through them.
