First, I am an economist who is working in a Think Tank in the fields of economics of education and labor economics. I got graduated from the faculty of Economics and Political Science in 2003, with a major in Economics and minor in Statistics. And in 2013, I studied for masters in KDI School of Public Policy & Management in South Korea, with a major in Development and minor in Public Finance and Social Policies.

Second, in simple words, I am an independent person who believe in chasing her dreams whatever the obstacles faced. Sometimes, I feel being weak when I receive deselection for my PhD applications; however, I still insist on dreaming BIG. I am somehow quiet, I do loose my concentration in crowd places or even noisy ones. I do prefer light music and reading books most of the time especially in my 30s. I am not that social person; however I am very friendly. I hope that by time, I will ameliorate through meeting up frequently with new people.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

It is quite a very hard question to answer; however, I will do my best. The main primary reasons for joining such an international community, may be, because I used to be an international student and I would like to get exposed more to other countries' cultures, economies, and education.
