I was born and raised in Seoul and have lived in the city for over 60 years.

I love hiking and travel.

I have a strong interest in local cuisine, which has led me to travel all over South Korea to discover the diversity of local foods.

I have traveled more than 50 countries in the past, including North Korea, mostly for business.

I work as a consultant for a New York-based global law firm.

I host and meet up travelers who are particularly interested in Korea's history, Korean beauty, foods, books, music, modern and traditional arts performances, and exhibitions.

My place is located at half an hour from city center via bus or subway, close to a forest of soutwest part of Bukhansan National Park.

I have three daughters at their aged 20s and 30s, two living close to my place, and one in New York.

I am a certified hiking guide of Korea.

I host travelers for maximum 3 nights, since I often travel myself.

I do not host smokers.
