About Me

CURRENT MISSION

한국어!!

ABOUT ME

I am culturally mixed and confused. I have songs from over 13 languages in my computer and it's possible for all of them to be in my playlist at any one time. And I am a train freak: I can't get enough of scenic railways, especially those steam ones!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Shamefully, I started thinking about CS when I wanted free accommodation :(((
But I later found the magic of CS and the perfect proof that understanding of culture and kindness still exist in this broken world.
