About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Contribute to the world peace and harmony through shared laughters

ABOUT ME

Humm, how do I introduce myself? I guess I should start by saying that I'm not from Nashville. I moved here about 8 years ago from San Francisco. I'm starting to like it. I guess I would describe myself as International and Professional. I traveled over 40 countries, lived and worked in Japan, Thailand, and Korea. I just returned from a humanitarian trip to Sudan, Africa. I am multilingual. I speak English, Korean, Japanese, and understand some street Spanish. I am spontaneously fun and goofy. I ran with the bulls while on business trip in Spain, fell and got trampled, got treated and went back to work at the office that day...

People tell me I am adventurous, courageous and foolish at same time. I bungee Jumped over Victoria Fall in Zimbabwe, Africa. I like outdoor. I love backpacking in Yosemite, Camping in Serengeti, Africa, etc. I can be romantic but often too goofy to really pull things off just right. I guess I can use help in this area. I love sports. I enjoy just about any sports that get my heart pumping. I am socially responsible.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you want them do unto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch surfing experience has been great! I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke so I do not wish to stay with smokers. Nothing against the smokers though. I just do not care for my clothing smelling like dull smoke. I am able to host smokers as long as they smoke outside.
