HI my name is YEONG HUN KO

i'd like to explore everything that i've never experienced before. because whether you'll grow and learn something valuable depends on how much you are willing to accept the challenging situation. when you are in your room, you can only learn something as big as your room 'indirectly' even though you can feel secure and safe in your place.
so that's why i want to give myself chance to work in another country to learn, experience and meet new people.

My major is sociology even though i'm particularly interested in translation and economy. so i tried to get interpretation job as much as i can. Being bridge between two people who can't communicate each other is definitely worthwhile. and i can have insight into what is going on in the world, and what kind of action do i need to take by studying economy, english which can open the whole new world and experiencing anything that can help me interpret new phenomenon better than before.

and as i mentioned above, i have hand-on experience of working with children with special needs.
and i also like to play piano. i'd like to consider myself as pretty good pianist. though i can only play songs that i practiced for couple of months. it really eases my tension and makes me relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i consider myself as person who likes to explore the world that i never been there or to know people. because person itself is small universe. we are all different. so i'm really interested in exploring each of small universe as well and travel together. and i also thought there is nothing better than staying in local's house to get to know the place.

Interests

i'm also huge~~~~~~~ fan of Ghibli studio, japanese animation movie. it makes me warm-hearted and relaxed. so much have to do with peace and innocent :))))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think one of the most amazing things that i did in my life is that i applied for being volunteer in Camphil where children with special needs can stay and trained themselves in order to be independent with love and care. staying in camphil for 1 year, i can not only learn about what human being is but also learn about myself. it was way more rewarding experience than i thought.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to cook Gimbap which is one of the most famous traditional korean food, very juicy. you probably like it, because i've never met person who dislikes this food:) and if there is piano i can also teach you how to play the piano and we can also play together . i know the song that two people play two different sections of song at the same time. it will be excited :))

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'd like to share my philosophical thoughts on life and cook korean dishes together and share it.
