Hi! I’m Jio, an explorer of the world.

❤️ Who am I? ❤️
I’ve started this adventure because I want to design my life the way I desire, breaking free from the conventional path that Korean society had laid out for me.
Now, I’m finally pursuing the dreams I’ve long kept in my heart but never dared to try—like traveling the world and living in a quiet village near the ocean abroad.

❤️ Personality ❤️
Sometime, I am shy and calm. And sometime, I am outgoing and energetic. (It is hard to explain me haha)
I enjoy laughing, partying, having conversation and connecting with others.
But since I am doing a long-term traveling, I get tired at night. When exhausted, I become calm.

❤️ Hobby ❤️
I have a passion for singing and have even performed a few times.
I also love staying active and have tried weight training, Pilates, yoga, running, and floorball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

❤️Why I’m on it❤️
I'm not a fan of superficial, touristy travel. I also don't enjoy overly tourist-filled zones.

I travel in order to experience new cultures.
I do Couchsurfing because I want to immerse myself into diverse cultures, have a deep conversation with people from different backgrounds, meet people with different values and perspectives.
I usually ask my host their reasons for choosing the lives they lead. (Because I am confusing of what life I should live in the future)

Every time I do it, something amazing happened to me.
Something that I could have never experienced without locals.

❤️My Couchsurfing Style❤️
OF COURSE I DO LOVE CONNECTING WITH MY HOST.
I love having a conversation, hanging out with my lovely hosts.
But since I am a long-term traveller, I easily get exhausted and I need enough time to take a rest.
I usually don't prefer hanging out a whole day with a host. I need some time to recharge my social battery. (And I also want to feel the city on my own)
This is not a big problem. We can have a conversation and balance our time together and my me-time.

🚨I do couchsurfing for cultural experience, I am not here to date.
🚨I have a partner.
