I'm Kimmy. I grew up in San Francisco with an American father and a Korean mother who was born and raised in Japan. I was raised between California and Japan and this helped shape my passion for different cultures, people, history, and language. I have degrees in Humanities and Italian but work as an Esthetician in my own skincare center in downtown San Francisco.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from different countries so we can share cultures, languages, and experiences with each other.

Interests

I have always had a passion for European culture, travel and history. My country of interest tends to change (for a long time it was England and Italy) but as of right now, my main interest is the Balkans and Caucasus. I also have a great passion for home design and love thrift market shopping for furniture and interior design. And then, I love reality television and celebrity gossip :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first time traveling to Europe was a dream come true. I was so excited I was taking pictures of everything in the airport!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am passionate about the world: I believe that travel is not just about seeing places but about learning and exchanging ideas, cultures, languages, and ways of being in the world. i want to contribute to this cause by sharing my life and where i come from and i want to soak in as much of the rest of the world too.
