After 3 years in South Korea living as both a student and part-time worker, I've finally decided to take off for a 1-year travel around the world with only my bag and my bike. My plan is to ride from Seoul to Paris and to travel around Asia and Europe, going through as many countries as possible.
I'm rather easygoing, discreet, and respectful. Open to any conversations and culture, I'm quite talkative and curious about pretty much everything, always listening to what the world has to tell me. Currently working on several writing projects, I therefore hope that such a journey to the unknown will help me find inspiration, which is why I wish to meet as many people as possible during my trip. Not only hosts who would be willing to lend a couch, but rather people who would be ready to share experience, adventure, and who would accept to show me around a little bit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for places to stay during my journey, and for people to share culture, experiences, or even to ride a part of the way together.
My first destination will be Japan at the beginning of September, as a preliminary round.
