Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I volunteered as a Korean teacher for foreigners for 2 years in our university. and it was never-to-forget experience! during that time, I met a lot of nice people from another contries. and from my students(They were all older than me, but we got along really well)hearing about special experiences with couch-surfing. and they recommended starting a couchsurfing would be an exciting new experience for me, so I always thinking about if I get the chance, I would like to participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be honest, I'm a little bit worried because I've never done Couchsurfing Experience before. so I think it's a good opportunity to make new friends. I want to meet nice people when I start Couchsurfing.^^

Interests

I have a great enthusiasm for reading so usually on weekends, I largely engaged in reading. and I've always dreamed of being a illustrator, traveling over the whole world. I not went on to art school, instead intrigued with Japan's cute illustrating, so I decide my major. but even if I'm not art student, I have an experience for illustrating middle school student's reference books for a part-time job.
and I love animals, and now I keep 2-year-old African Pygmy hedgehog.

Music, Movies, and Books

To me,the most unforgettable movie I've seen is classic film, The Sound of Music. so I want to go to Austria someday because I want to visit some places from the movie.
and The movie I 'Life Of Pi' was incredible!!
Horror movies are just not my cup of tea, so I often choose Korean hilarious movies.

I can hum a few lines of a popular K-pop song, but I have many opportunities hear Japan musics because of my specialty. My favorite artists are PUFFY, Superfly, Avril Lavigne.

I read all kinds of books. I think variety is the spice of life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From entering university, I usually spending my vacation volunteering at 'Aekwang-won'-Rehabilitation Facilities for the Disabled at Geoje-island(near Busan, Korea. if you want to get more infomation, please visit www.akw.or.kr!)-. I become a boon companion to physically challenged childrens&teenagers and The smiles on the faces of them were one of the greatest presents I have received in my life. I also learn how to make pottery or look after plants in the greenhouse from there. so I spent a lot of time with handicapped childrens&teenagers making pottery, gardening as their intensive rehabilitation programmes.
It was a moment I'll never forget.

also-
Built homes and paint large murals in Ulan Bator, sector Tsaiz.
looking stars in sleeping bag on India's deserts.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching whatever I can do or know to other people is really best thing. Nothing is more interesting than this! I have been to Mongolian capital, Ulan Bator and teached about how to make Korean food and study English at there!

Learn about new cooking recipe & baking ways is always fun! It always seems to taste wonderful no matter how sloppily I measure things. lol. I'm happiest when other people eating my food ;)

I want to share my overseas experience and so on. I think We can talk about many things under the open sky.
