Hi! I’m based in Seoul and work in healthcare.

I enjoy renovating old houses and running a couple of Airbnb spaces.

I like exploring cafés, bookstores, and unique local spots.

Happy to meet people and share ideas about cities and spaces.

If timing works, I’d be glad to host and show you around.
