CURRENT MISSION

find the real me.

ABOUT ME

I live in Seoul, have spent much of my life living in Seoul and dreaming of living in many different places around the world.

I like traveling and firmly believe that those who like to travel are all good.

I am currently working as a translator at a broadcasting station. I work really early in the morning and leave my office in the morning. During the daytime, I read books and newspapers and sometimes explore my city, searching for good coffee and bread.

PHILOSOPHY

I have decided not to sacrifice anything that I am given now for the future.

No worries about things beyond my control and things that do not happen yet.
No regret about the past.

I try to become better in all aspects than yesterday-me.
I also believe I can learn from every experience, good or bad.
I don't want to live my life living up to others' expectations. I want to be real me, always thinking about when I am truly happy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I traveled France in 2010-2011, I heard about CS for the first time. But before that, a French girl named Stephanie invited me to her place in Rennes and let me stay at her place for 2 nights. When I went to Cambodia this year, I met a girl who had a long history of hosting surfers. As I booked a ticket to New York, I suddenly wanted to start CS out of curiosity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A Couchsuring newbie.
In the near future, I want to host surfers.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like documentaries or movies about ordinary people much more than commercial and blockbuster ones. Some big movie theaters show only a few movies that they want to show to the public. That's why I go to small movie theaters and enjoy watching relatively less renowned movies.

I like novels. To practice English, I spend much time reading English-written books. What I am reading is Ha-joon Chang's Economics: The User's Guide and John Irving's A prayer for Owen Meany.

I like classical music and dated Korean pop songs.
When I go abroad, I buy CDs of the country's popular musicians.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Last year I got a job which allowed me to find a balance in life.
I go to work at 3:30 am and leave my office at 8:30 am after having breakfast with my co-workers. Doing it everyday without ever being late is really amazing to me.

教，学，和分享

I want to deepen my understanding of my own world(history, tradition and culture, etc.) so that I can help someone who wants to know about Korea better understand the country. I also want to improve cooking skills so that I can make excellent Korean food even when I do not have adequate ingredients and share the food with the people I meet during trips to foreign countries.
