About Me

Hello there, greeting from a tiny Korean girl who's currently living in France!!!
My name is Jiwon, but I don't mind you calling me Lola if you feel uncomfortable with it.
I'm staying in Lyon, France, but I'm originally from South Korea. Please feel free ask me if you are interested in any part of Korean or Asian culture.
I'm a lazy but adventurous, and also easy going person. I LOVE meeting people, going to the places I've never known, eating exotic food, drinking with nice friends, good music and good or bad stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I take a trip to a country, I prefer to get know about it as deep as I can. More than just sightseeing, I'd like to know about its people, modern society and history.
Also, it will be quite an experience to live in the world of hospitality and favor, instead of money and system.
If you offer me a brief view of your country and people, it will be the best gift I ever can get during my trip :)

Interests

I love music, litterature(mostly novels), movies.
I like walking very much, and leaning archery right now, but not really into a sport.
Except when I am traveling, I'm quite an indooring person.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite author is F. S. Fitzgerald, who writes really marvelous short stories. I like Raymond Carver, Soseki Natsume(Japanese), Romain Gary, and there are plenty of others. I'm also a fan of SF fiction, especially Philippe K Dick.

A Harry Potter kid, Sherlokian(not drama), a great fan of Big Bang Theory.

Favorite movies: Lock Stock Two Smoking Barrels, Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Wong Kar-wai movies(In the mood for love), the Tarantino movies, David Fincher, Lars Von Trier, ...

I like classic&modern band music(like the Beatles, Oasis, the Smith, Mumfords&Sons, the Fun, Panic at the disco), but also like Jovim(Bossanova), Kent, Mika, Moby, Sondre Rerke, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm writing all this with my almost 10 years old laptop!

well by doing this I'm gonna have a seat in a electric-machine-heaven in my next life..
