CURRENT MISSION

Go back home with a new mind.

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Soomie and I'm currently a student living in Graz, Austria for a semester and it's my first time traveling outside the United States! (Canada doesn't count!) I'm a journalist wannabe so I've been blogging about my experiences traveling in Austria and its surrounding countries. So I tell people I'm not a tourist but a journalist :) I love history, culture, languages and people! :)

PHILOSOPHY

You get more out of life when you live with an open-mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'm currently traveling, I can't provide a couch and once I return home, I won't be able to live in my own apartment :( BUT hopefully I will get a place soon which I can share with all you wonderful people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome so far. Just a great site and great idea!
