Description
Hello! I'm a Korean-American traveling the world. I have an undergraduate degree in Economics & Marketing, and worked 4 years at a bank in the US. In August 2023 I quit my job and have been traveling all over the world!
I love travel, exercise (cycling, tennis, rock climbing, snowboarding), and learning languages (English, Spanish, Korean). I'm beginner-conversational in French and would love to practice with French-speakers.
My experience is in business & marketing, but I also enjoy DIY projects and working with my hands. I have experience working with children, a relatively strong level of fitness, and a curiosity to learn new things! I am looking forward to learning about your projects and helping out however I can. I also work on some projects online so sometimes need my own time, but generally I'm very open to chatting about different cultures and lifestyles.
Also, my Korean name is Hyeonjin - you can call me Joseph if speaking English :)
Looking forward to meeting you!
