ABOUT ME

※My journey route : Canada ~ Alaska ~ America ~ Mexico ~ Guatemala ~ El Salvador ~ Honduras ~ Nicaragua ~ Costa Rica ~ Panama ~ Colombia ~ Ecuador !! (2013.12.5 now)

Hello people from all over the world! It's nice day to travel.
My name is Kang Sung Eun. I know it's hard to pronounce. You can call me Ryan :)
I'm 22 and university student in South Korea. My major is Economics and minor is Philosophy and Politics.
Now, I'm travelling (backpacking) all over the world started with absolutely NO MONEY. (yes, I know I'm crazy)
It was my dream since when I was young, and now is the day! I don't want to miss chance to achieve my dream.
Now I'm totally free man :) I can travel wherever I want to go!
I started this very long adventurous journey without money but I definitely have Strict Will and Passion.
Altough it will be very tough but I strongly believe
that I can complete my journey.
I'm very optimistic, open minded, love to meet new people.
I don't mind if you are from different country, culture, race, male or female, appearance, religion etc....I think these are not important. What's most important is your thinking, worth of inside of your heart.
What I love most is nature. That's why I started my journey from Canada.
I love hiking, overnight tracking, camping in the wild nature.

Music, I like hiphop, electronic, rock, new age, even classic.
Sport, I like racquetball (I was captain in university racquetball club), soccer.
Movie, I like SF, thriller, adventure, drama.
Pets, I'm raising a dog (female puddle, sadly she is not smart...but so so cute!). Love every pets. I definitely love animals.

I don't smoke, but drink beer :)

Altough it can be different caused by different culture, I definitely know what is polite behavior or impolite.

I will have to use Couch Surfing in each country very often during my long journey.
So I need you guys' help!

Hope to see you guys!!! I will visit your country!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't like studying only inside the university.
I want to experience outside of the world. There's different people, nation, culture and different thinking!
I can learn so many unique things that school can't teach us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first experience! So excited.
