I'm currently a senior university student and is enjoying my exchange life in the Netherlands. I major in Korean language and literature, so I could speak a bit Korean. ( But to be honest since I came to study in the Netherlands I rarely use Korean language anymore so my Korean speaking ability has dramatically deteriorated..... lol )

I love to chat with different people and know about their life stories. I'm very open-minded and kind, and smile a lot. Trust me, I might be a shitty story-teller but I'm a real good listener ^^ Most of the time I am sober and somewhat prefer to stay silent, but when having a great time with friends I could be super crazy haha

I love to travel to different cities, stay at the city for a prolonged period of time, take my time, wander around in the city, chat with the locals from time to time, and of course, have some nice coffee at the cafe or bars when i'm tried from walking around. Instead of sticking to the standard tourist routes and collecting the so-called famous tourist attractions, I prefer taking my time and wandering around without specific purposes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

as mentioned above, i love to hear stories of different people with different cultural and religious background. I learned a lot simply just from talking with different people, and I really enjoy the process of learning. Thus I'm looking forward to new stories all the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Simple Chinese cooking (of course i also do super elaborate chinese cooking that takes me 3-5 hrs active cooking in the kitchen, but as suggested from the time required, it also takes lots of herbs and ingredients.... and of course energy ), and of course good ears for listening ^^
