About Me

Hi! My name is Gaeun Lee (You can call me 'Kate') from Seoul, South Korea. Since I quit my job in first company I'd worked for, I decided to have long holiday for myself before I get back to work again. I've traveled and studied English in Australia for 4 months and now I'm in Canada to finish my journey here!
Because of my job I had, I've been communicating a lot of people and always have curiosity about people. I'm always open to talk and share my stories with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a woman traveling by myself, I thought it is a better way to stay in a hotel or B&B than staying with stranger. But since I've been traveling I've met a lot of awesome people during my journey and it made my thought changed. I'd love to meet people and share experiences we have. I've never did couch surfing before, but I often had chance to stay in stranger's house and I had really nice experiences with them.

Interests

One of my work was to help people from North Korea to settle down in S Korea. Because I designed and operated internship program for them, I have so many friends from N Korea and always interested about N Korea.
Currently I'm very interested in cooking. I had a busy life in Korea so I didn't cook often and I never interested in. But I often stay in my friend's house during my trip and I tried quite often to cook for them. I just found my talent!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like old music and movies. (Eric Clapton, Beatles, Jack Johnson, The legend of fall, It happened one night, Singing in the rain.. and some classics as well)
And I also love comedy shows like "Seinfeld" "Curb your enthusiasm"
I love literature (Zorba the Greek, The book thief)
And I love the painting of Frida Kalho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always had fear about water. I never tried swimming or water activities since I had accident in water when I was young. But I learned from my friend how to swim in Australia and tried surfing as well! When I realized how far I swam, it was just awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love to learn languages. So I studied Chinese in university and I went to New Zealand to study English as well.
I also learned Latin Dance when I was a student in Uni. I love dancing with music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laugh, Food(I love cooking), comfortable conversation with wine or beer.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, China, New Zealand
