Hello, this is Yeri from Seoul, South Korea, but I'm currently based in Nairobi, Kenya :) I work as a freelance translator but also have worked in a few different fields including the Climate Change sector.

I'm a pawrent of 3 rescue dogs(one from Uganda, one from Nepal, and one from Kenya!) and a cat. I would of course love it if you also have furries in your house :)

I love lifting weights at the gym, having deep conversations, going out for good vegan food, and sharing lift stories of each other!
I'm very social and very into animal-related topics or environmental issues as well.

I would love to meet and hangout with like-minded folks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As it's one of the best ways to meet the locals and get to know the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on a quiz show when I was 16 and won the prize as the youngest winner in their history :) I was recognized by strangers on the street for like..... a few days.
