About Me

Majoring in international relations, and want to be a journalist after my graduation. Right now, I'm in Sweden as an exchange student.

Maybe I'm not a person who seems surprisingly attractive or makes you excited at first sight, but certainly I'm a person who tries to be truthful and to listen to what you say. That's how I've interacted with my families, friends, and others.

For me, the world is full of things to learn! With passion and curiosity, I want to be a person who endlessly pursues new learing and fresh knowledge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet as many people as possible, share different ideas with them, and go outside of my box !! The more I travel around, the more it becomes certain that travelling is more about being together with others than just sightseeing. And I believe that Couchsurfing offers me a great chance to meet people :)

Interests

playing soccer, taking photos, watching movies and documentaries, reading magazines, cooking, travelling.

+ Asking 'why?' to a lot of things and thinking about cutural, social contexts lying beneath what I find quite different from my previous knowledge/experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip to Iceland. The cenerary there was one of the most magnificent and unbelievable thing I've ever seen!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Things about Korea - Korean language, culture, dishes etc. A few things about International Relations.

Learn: Other than above ! Especially something about your country / world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Things about Korea(culture, society, politics, and even Korean dishes!). Probably you guys are not familar with these, but certainly they are something interesting and leads us to think about social/cultural differences between different countries. You will be surprised at how the world I come from is different from yours!

Other than that, sharing personal experiences is what I'd always like to do with others. Any topics are welcome :)
