Hi, I'm Sunjun Yoo, also known as willowboy (버드나무소년). I'm a singer-songwriter and photographer from South Korea.

Music is my way of expressing emotions and capturing moments. I used to write songs about love or dreams, but now I want to create music with diverse topics, such as my travels and the small, beautiful things around the world.

I hope this European journey will not be just about sightseeing for me. I hope it will be about meeting people, sharing cultures, and collecting moments that might turn into songs. I hope to connect with open-minded hosts who enjoy meaningful conversations, good coffee, and the magic of storytelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to Europe following the journey of my mother, who passed away three years ago. After she returned from her trip to Europe, she always said she wanted to send me there someday. I was always curious about what moved her so deeply in Europe. So, I gathered small clues, such as where she visited, and came to Europe. I've just started my journey.

I want to interact with locals during my travels and learn about their cultures and daily lives. I also hope to hear stories and experiences from different people and exchange positive influences.
