Hello, My name is Ruri, from South Korea.
I do love traveling and love to meet new people from different backgrounds.

At first, I am quite shy, but soon, we can be a good friend. I believe in sense of humor.
With good food, good chatting with good people, HAPPINESS is there.

I am full of curiosity. That's why I traveled around more than 20 countries.
Let's see, where life brings me!

I just graduated and want to work and live abroad for the rest of twenty.
So I am in Bali, 'Island of Gods', Full of spirituality, where people are making their own ways.
Yes, Future of Work and Life!

I can not wait to meet you! Thank u :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best chance to interact with new people. I do not want to say 'I've been there!' after just looking around the touristic places. I want to learn about stories of people living there. Sorry, If I get to meet you, I might tease you with tons of questions :)

Interests

I like to interview people. Whenever I meet new people, I find myself naturally listening to their stories. Amazing that we have all different stories!

I love animals, nature and the environment. Living with my grandfather-aged dog, I have learned how to communicate with the animals. It made me have interests in nature and the environment.

I like history(my major). I think history covers all sorts of the old stories.

• environment
• cooking
• traveling
• history
• interviewing

Music, Movies, and Books

In general, I like calm music before going to bed. It comforts me.
I also like folk music. I like the moment when I am in the bar with the guitar playing.

My favorite movies are "Pride and Prejudice", "Flip". I like the personality of actresses in those films. They are self-confident and don't hesitate to speak out what they think right. I also like the scenery in the films.

I like Park won seo'(Korean novelist)s novels. Her writing is emotional and touching. I could feel her affection towards the human.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was traveling to the countryside of Korea for three weeks by myself. Though it was my home country, I felt lonely during the trip. Sadly, I couldn't meet travel mate in the hostel because it was not a holiday season. But soon, I got used to the loneliness and talked with myself. It was the process where I got to know myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to make Korean dishes(the secret recipe :) ).
I want to learn dance. (Especially, Tango, Latin or any kinds of dance)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make some Korean dishes. Believe me, it's quite good. haha
We can share the culture. I can tell you about the history of Korea, if you want!
