  • Description

    Hi, I'm a Korean girl who loves travel, languages, and sharing cultures.

    I have an electrical engineering background with a love for travel (30 countries), culture, food, wellness, music, and more. I started working holiday in France in March 2026, excited to immerse myself in new environments and meaningful connections.

    I believe the best way to understand the world is through people, conversations, and shared experiences, just as my parents taught and showed me for years. Traveling, exploring nature, and discovering new cultures have always kept me inspired and grounded. I love conversations about languages, science, technology, and everyday life.

    My tutoring and mentoring experiences taught me how joyful it is to learn alongside others and support their growth. Ultimately, I’m here to explore, contribute, and grow to share knowledge, kindness, and experiences while learning from the incredible people I will meet along the way.

    More details about my language interests
    I love to practice, learn, and teach all the languages I speak and understand. To share a quote about learning languages, "Si vous parlez à un homme dans une langue qu'il comprend, vous parlez à sa tête. Si vous lui parlez dans sa langue, vous parlez à son coeur".

  • More details about your skills

    I am a very versatile person who enjoys teaching, communicating across languages, housekeeping, and learning new skills quickly. I adapt easily, take responsibility seriously, and genuinely enjoy helping where I’m needed. Here are some of my hands-on experiences:

    1) Child mentoring, tutoring & caretaking
    As a university student, I mentored, tutored, and cared for children aged 5–15, providing 24-hour care while staying onsite. The manager extended my contract from 2 to 4 months because parents appreciated my work to a great extent. Responsibilities included laundry, shared meals, outdoor activities (swimming, dancing, football, zoo/amusement park visits), and teaching English and math. I also mentored the students about their dreams and ended each day by writing “thank you notes” together to encourage reflection and gratitude.

    2) University mentoring & speaking
    I mentored undergraduate students and was invited by my university to give talks on making the most of college life: exploring personal potential, building friendships, and developing confidence. Tutoring was done in Korean as well as English for foreign student group, covering calculus, electronics circuits, and basic Spanish.

    3) Housekeeping & organization
    I am very organized and thorough with household duties. I’ve worked in a restaurant kitchen and managed full housekeeping (cooking, dishwashing, cleaning, gardening, and waste management) in a four-bedroom apartment for over six months. Even at home, my mother see a big difference and appreciate it when I take care of chores and keep spaces comfortable and tidy.

    4) Outdoor support & activities
    I enjoy being active and outdoors. I’m happy to play with children or join activities like hiking, swimming, or visiting local markets. Wherever I am, I like researching local events and places to explore every week, so you will find me recommending events and festivals to check out.

    5) Language exchange
    I speak Korean (mother tongue), English at a B2–C1 level, French at a B1 level, and Spanish at a A1-A2 level. I enjoy language and culture exchange and helping others practice communication.

    6) Fixing & building
    I’m comfortable with practical tasks like fixing sinks, changing lightbulbs, hanging frames, and I once helped build a indoor gym set and a shed from scratch.

    7) Quick learner
    I pick up new skills quickly and am always open to learning. You can encourage me to step outside my comfort zone and contribute wherever I can.
