About Me

Hi, I am a Korean Canadian on a one year leave of absence from work and travelling the world for 10 months. I have travelled overseas a fair amount, but this is the first time I've traveled for more than 2 months continuously. I would love to meet some locals to connect with and learn about the local culture.

I am mostly vegetarian and seeking to live a peaceful, joyful life leaving a light footprint on this beautiful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet and connect with locals and make friends around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love most genres of music including pop, R&B, jazz, blues, rap, opera, classical - depends on my mood! Well, maybe not country.

Just read "A Thousand Suns" - very good.

Don't watch a lot of movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I trekked the Annapurna circuit for 24 days in Nov 2014!
