Hello! I'm Sylvia. Nice to pseudo-meet you :) I'm an American-born Korean who apparently loves to hyphenate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard it was a cool way to meet new places while traveling... time to test it.

Interests

My main hobby is photography. Film and digital. I've got my handy DSLR, 3 film cameras (2 SLRs and 1 Land) and my little baby instax. I hardly ever get to go out and use them though, hence the desire to travel more often now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Last book I read: Ready Player One
Music: I love the greats like Nina Simone and Otis Redding. Recent concerts: Panda Bear, AnCo, Mountain Goats, Elton John. Yup...
Movies: I love all sorts of movies, one of my favorites: Shawshank Redemption. Breaking gender boundaries FTW.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was published in a book at the age of 11. Ask me about it sometime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I can teach but I've been told I'm a great conversationalist. I believe in spreading love and truth and asking the tough questions. Otherwise, what's the point?
