About Me

Sorry I am not hosting for a while.
———————————
*IMPORTANT - please read all when you stay in my house*

💁 About Me
Annyeonghaseyo. I'm Kim!
I live in Incheon, South Korea.

I'm interested in other countries, languages and different cultures. By meeting people who are living in different countries, I can learn many things. This is the reason I am here in CS world!

🌎 My Dream
My dream was to travel the whole world in my future life. And finally, I am taking the step towards my dream come true! I am traveling the world now. Let's share our thoughts and learn each other :)

📷 Work
I was a software engineer in a car company, but now I have stopped my work and try to be a travel&vlog YouTuber. I enjoy filming together with my guests to make our memory. Let's enjoy discovering parts of Korea and foods here. I can make you a beautiful memory here in Korea, and it will be so fun together ☺️

🏠 Hosting
- I live in Incheon, S.Korea with my wife. She also loves making new friends but she is a bit shy and conservative. She is Arabic so she is not used to hug or physical touch with male guys. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t like you. It’s just different culture so hope you understand her :)

- Feel free staying in my house but just basic manners when you stay together 📃
: Sometimes there are people using Couchsurfing to save money for free bed 😴. I am sorry but I can’t host these people because it’s difficult to enjoy together.

I prefer people who we can hang out, and eat out over proper meal to share out each culture. In Korea, cost of meal is $7-13 per person. It can be more expensive if you want to have Korean barbecue or fancy things, but I am not rich too, so I don’t also eat expensive things everyday.

(Sorry to talk about money things here but I had several experiences and I didn’t like it. I wanna filter them before they come, so that I will not have any stress later. Let’s be cool! It’s your time to fully enjoy your trip! I think this is the way you can deeply enjoy CS from the bottom, right? 😊)

📌 Address
I live in a residence in Incheon which is 7 minutes walk from subway station(Munhak Sports Complex subway station).
In Google or Naver map : search 'hanwha forena incheon yeonsu' apartment

Please respect my house rule and clean up well for hosting next people. If somebody damage our things, we can’t host next guests while we fix this. Your manners keep us to host others. Thank you 🙏

🚫 Few things I can’t accept
1. I can’t make an invitation card for your K-eta or Korean visa.
2. Please don’t use my address for your proof of staying in Korea because of multiple address registrations, I would be suspicious from government(they call me to check regularly).
3. Please bring your things with you cause some stuffs would be lost if many people keep things in my house.
4. People who are looking for free bed
: I believe CS is not to save money but to share our cultures, languages and our thoughts. I don’t want to host people always find street foods and think about budget all the time. I respectfully ask those people to find another place.

Thank you 🙏
