ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, easy-going, adventurous, full of laughter, sort of lazy, curious, honest person (I think...)

I am originally from South Korea but lived in various other places in the world. I'm currently doing a PhD in Film Studies at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. I have been in UK for 7 years now. I also studied and worked in Canada and the US.

PHILOSOPHY

Love one another... :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Oh. I'm just a beginner here but I would like to meet other people who loves travelling and learn more about the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I don't know if this counts... but when I was travelling around Germany in 2001, I met a really nice girl Yara on my way to Frankfrut from Munich. She offered me to stay with her for a few days so I had the chance to stay with a nice German family for three days. It's a shame that I lost her contact detail. She was such a nice person and I had great fun!

I guess this has led me finally couchsurfing... I'll have to see how it goes

兴趣

I like travelling, cooking, sleeping, watching movies and going for a walk at night. I took piano lessons for ten yearsI swim and I'm taking golf since I moved to St Andrews. I'm hoping to try diving or sailing soon.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I worked for a non-profit, religious organization for a year, travelling 5000 miles across Canada and meeting hundreds of people.

I have also completed the Camino Santiago Compostela (The French Way) in 2011, walking 900kms in 38 days. A truly amazing and growing experience!
