NOW: Currently living and working a corporate job in New York but tried to have my fair share of adventures as a uni student.

My thing was (or is...!) to experience new, totally different cultures from my Korean-American background each time I travel. I've purposely selected places as different from one another as Egypt, Kenya, and Bangladesh to really get a feel for how different the world is!

Hobbies: Squash, basketball, learning a second language

Favorite travel-related experiences:
Overall: Better to regret something you did than something you didn't!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Stayed with CS'ers in Egypt, Israel, Jordan... learned so much from my hosts and it added greatly to my experience of a particular area / country.

Travelling is so much about the people and the new experiences that CS seems like a perfect place to run into more!

兴趣

Squash

Traveling to places TOTALLY different from one another

Trying amazing new experiences, amazing new foods, meeting amazing new people.

Getting lost somewhere for a day, a night, a week, a month and seeing what happens!!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

教，学，和分享

Traveling without a plan is the best. My Kenya volunteer group basically didn't have a plan and winged it -- We ended up being able to relax and enjoy ourselves while accomplishing our goals.

Always say yes. I know there are so many dangers to this tip here in a foreign place but its always brought me great memories of a place no matter what. The bad may seem to outweigh the good with a bad decision, but what you will always remember and possibly never have the opportunity to even try again are the AMAZING memories abroad.
