Hello~ I am an American living in Manhattan, NYC, NY, USA, Earth :) I was born in South Korea and moved to the US with my parents around 2000.

I'm a computer software and hardware designer and developer for IBM. I work in quantum computing and artificial intelligence. I love tech, design, science, art, music, politics, and cooking. Pop culture and sports are not strong suits XD.

I'm sarcastic, filled with bad jokes, and like to walk everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived in the US for awhile, but I am also a bit new to New York City. Would love to explore together and make friends! I am planning to travel often as well, so why not give back?

Teach, Learn, Share

Bad jokes, food, life experiences, and my job.

Willingness to explore, can do non-toursity things, be in Manhattan, also go up-state for hikes :)

I love doing down to earth things but also sometimes fancy-ing things up a bit!!
