Hello! My name is Jongho Byun.

I am a 20 year old Korean American currently living in New York and attending Boston College in Massachusetts. I firmly believe that those are the best cities in the world but would you be able to convince me that your hometown is better? So far, not many were successful in changing my opinion but give it a shot! I am very open-minded to travel.

I am spontaneous and adventurous. I like to explore different parts of the world, and I know I still have yet to see many beautiful things or to taste the best food.

Speaking of food, I can't live without food (literally). I especially love cultural food that gives me a little glimpse or taste of what the place/culture is about. However, I am so open-minded about trying new food that it is extremely difficult for me to order food. Thus, if I come to your city or town, you have to recommended couple of places for me.

I am very passionate about volleyball and basketball, meeting different people, and learning new things everyday. I am currently developing a love for books, and I recently read the Harry Potter series in a month and a half. I am always in search for new books and ideas so I would love to hear about your favorite books.

I am a believer of Christ! Although I am not the most perfect human being in the world, I strive to make someone happy or smile each day and continue to better myself with personal values and beliefs. Since you've read my bio fully, message me the best time of your life or the biggest lesson you've learned this year as a secret code (even an embarrassing story would be cool)! I try live everyday as if it's the best day of my life. The biggest lesson I learned this year is to always be honest with God, yourself, your family and your friends even if you think you might hurt them (you always end up hurting someone if you don't). In terms of embarrassing story, when i was in 2nd grade, I used to dye 1/4 of my hair because I thought I was hip and trendy. I have plenty of other stories to tell but I want to hear more of yours.
