Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Be rational, but always be positive.
ABOUT ME
I have no brothers or sisters.
So when I was young, I tried to make many friends around me.
I always tried to talk with strangers even if he or she was foreigner.
- Talkative & come up easily
Love Sports.
So I'm majoring Physical Education in univ.
Soccer, Basketball, Handball, Gymnastics, Hiking, Cycling, Swimming, Running.... spending lots of time doing Handball nowadays cause there is a tournament in sept.
Effected by my father, art works were always displayed in the house. Grown up together with them, looking around for galleries and markets is one of my favorite hobbies. Wanna go Brick lane and Borough!!! In korea, there is Insa-dong traditional market similar with those two.
Taking photos and making notes - to remember the special moments.
Pen and note is my main item when going out for walk or sight seeing.
PHILOSOPHY
Joyful life: watch everything in detail. World will plenty of miracles make your life much more pleasant and enjoyable. Feel everything around you.
But! Be strict to myself when working.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Started about 2 weeks ago and found out there are really many open-minded people in the world just like me :D
Hosted a Czech woman about a month before but I didn't know about this website at that time. Maybe she found my family by personal connection@
This website is really cool systemized finding foreign friends and also couch(I think it is brand new concept. I've never seen just like this before)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First time finding couch but hosted the Czech woman for about a month. She was a ceramic artist just as my father. Being the host was fun as surfing the couch. Talked a lot, ate a lot! Got culture shock while talking cause there were so many difference between Asia n Europe. So want to feel it by myself this time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Teaching is the best way to study or learn.
Teach, Learn, Share
Now I'm teaching(training) high school students who want to major physical education in university. Not very professional but based on my own experience.
About ceramic artworks. My home was always decorated with ceramics made by father. Want to share father's specially designed ceramics and history of them.
Korean culture will be nice subject to share with too.
