CURRENT MISSION

Live well in Los Angeles.

ABOUT ME

I am a Korean American from Los Angeles, CA. I love new cultures, good food, engaging in meaningful conversations, being ridiculous, a good thrill and all sports. I graduated from Biola university where I studied Intercultural Studies. I've enjoyed every country I've been to but New Zealand, Israel and Ireland hold a special place in my heart. I've learned to hitchhike, eat cheap, sleep anywhere, sacrifice when I need to, indulge when I need to, and live with a grateful attitude. I am a very blessed individual.

PHILOSOPHY

"Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen." -Benjamin Disraeli
"In school they told me that practice makes perfect. Then they told me that no one is perfect. So I stopped practicing."
"A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows." -Saint Francis of Assissi
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." -Albert Einstein
"Not all who wander are lost.'' -J.R.R Tolkien
"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value." -Albert Einstein
"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts." -Albert Einstein
Just be yourself, everyone else is taken."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel to love the hell out of the land and its people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Edinburgh, Scotland I stayed with a guy who let me and 3 friends stay with him for 2 days. Then, he let us continue to stay in his flat for the duration of our stay in Edinburgh as he left to another country. So we had the flat for 2 more nights to ourselves! It was an inspiration to be hosted by someone so trusting. Oh, and did I mention that we were his first couchsurfers?!
