Description

Hi! I am Yun (rhymes with June)

I am a 29 year old professional working remotely as a data analyst. Born and raised in Korea, now living in the US. I'm a firm believer in mindful traveling based on community, mutual respect, and cultural exchange, sharing and exchanging as much as possible with people allowing me to share their space.

I love navigating a new culture especially through learning all about the music and the food!! Tell me all about the obscure musician from your country that your parents love to listen to. We can cook your favorite childhood dish together, and I can share the same from the culture I come from.

I love getting to know people at a human level, and very easy-going and personable, while also respectful of boundaries and space. I have some experience traveling (South America, Mexico, Europe) and I can share tons of weird funny stories. I am also passionate about languages in general and I'm always eager to immerse myself by trying to learn the local language.

***I will be working 9am-5pm New York time zone, but this time is flexible and can be adjusted to host's needs. ***

I'm currently working in IT (Data Analyst) and have some technical skills in SQL, Tableau, Python, and more.

I have experience as a private tutor teaching math, chemistry, and English. I am 100% fluent in both English and Korean.

I have experience over 5 years in customer service, working as a restaurant server, briefly at a hostel, and receptionist at a medical facility.

What else ...

I love to hike and immerse myself in nature (I've hiked the Camino de Santiago twice and have also hiked the W trek in Patagonia). I also love psychology and psychoanalysis, personality tests, and actually considering a career change into becoming a clinical psychologist or therapist.

I also play the guitar terribly and also used to play the cello in an orchestra. I want to learn the bass guitar. My dream is to be a polyglot and learn 10 languages fluently by the time I die.

- Badminton
