Hi,

I am a musician / translator from Korea. I've been a journalist at some point, and now serve a school for educating to-be-footballers.

I've lived in different places, and grew up with the international community; resulting to a sporadic set of friends around the globe. If you were an international kid growing up, we are bound to get along!

I am a Protestant Christian by faith, but I will respect your religion and customs. I enjoy conversing about religions, (I prefer to be on the listening end) and finding out more about the philosophy that drives a person.

I am open to experiencing new customs and cultures; and sight-seeing is not often a priority for me, as to learning more about the people themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My travel philosophy is that people make more than half the journey.

Although I no longer host my house in Seoul due to space constraints, my house has always been full of friends and guests; both in Manila and in Seoul. I enjoy the company of people, making new friends, and putting new people together to see the amazing interactions it often results to.

I am genuinely interested in people and the stories they bring with them. I like striking random conversations with people around the city; I am hoping CS will pave way to meeting more interesting friends around the globe.

Interests

Everything music, black and white pictures, good food, religion, quiet evenings.

I enjoy a good cup of tea, especially with a good conversation.

• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a broad palate for music, and my favourite classical composer is Jean Sibelius, but I do enjoy most styles between jazz to blues to rock. Film music is a particular favourite.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, if there are instruments in your house :)

If you can lead me to a supermarket, and you are not afraid of spices, we can have a Korean meal.

I will bring with me a pack of stories to share, and I am hoping I will receive the same in return!
