So, I've finally ordered tickets, and will arrive in Seoul on July 5th(around 5pm I think).

I've asked several people on Couchsurfing, but so far I haven't found a place to stay. If you have a couch, nothing would be better than hanging out with a fellow SC fan! So if you have a couch, please let me know!

Also, I don't mind getting tips on how I should make my profile, in case I get turned down because of a bad profile! Here's the profile URL: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/arnstein.kleven/

And if you can't offer a couch, a cheap place to stay is also a good alternative

You should smile in your profile picture.

I always wonder what kind of people have the money for the insane airfare to go to korea but not enough for a cheep korean hotel.

^^ this. he's not joking. change your picture to one with a nice whit balance and a smiling, good looking picture of you, and you're tons more likely to get replies/requests

I may seem a little scary, but I'm really not! <--- This is not helping your cause in the slightest. rofl

if you don't have a good picture, (or look like an axe murderer) no one's gonna bother with the rest of your profile.

The problem is that in most pictures of me, I am pretty unserious and I always look high(even though I'm not). I don't look too serious on the picture in my profile though, right?

Kuja: it's all about what you prefer. I COULD afford a hotel of course, but then I wouldn't have much to spend on music instruments, food and other cool stuff. I also know that, at least in the beginning, it's impossible to sleep well because of jetlag, so paying for a hotel isn't worth it anyways. I'm a student, so I don't have much money, so it's either travel and being poor for me, or not traveling at all. I think traveling and being poor is the best option then

You do realize you can stay in a decent hostel for like 60euro/week in Seoul, right?

Yes, but I think staying on someones couch usually gives you a better experience.

Hmm I think it's best to show a picture of you smiling with other people. If you have to shoot a new one then do it lol.

And couches can be so uncomfortable, so if you end up not finding one, maybe it's a good thing

If I lived in Seoul I totally would dude, but I live 4 hours away haha. If your really cheap, and I mean SERIOUSLY cheap, you could stay in a jimjilbang.

And 60 euros a week? Fuck that get a pimping place for $60 a night

Well, you could go to Seoul and we could hang out and watch GSL/OSL/PL! Send me a PM if you want to do this! (of course this applies to anyone)

Great website I love reading TL and finding cool stuff like this. (I'm sure google would've revealed it as well, but not in the same interesting way)

I really don't think couchsurfing is the way to go about it in Seoul, go to a guesthouse and meet lots of people! It's like $20~ a night

Why don't you think that couchsurfing is the way to go about in Seoul? I'm genuinely curious, and won't do it if there's a good reason not to do it! I've gotten places to stay for the whole trip now!

I just think Seoul is boring to see by yourself and if you go to a guesthouse, you can meet more people. Also people livin here probably have jobs and school so... Like I have a couch but I didn't offer cause I'm not home for most of the day and I'd feel bad for not showing you around or helping out. I dunno, I think there's just more people in guesthouses, which can be a better time. That's all.

Ah, ok! Well, the couchsurfing community seems strong in Seoul, and both of the guys I've been accepted to have other people staying there as well! Guesthouses will be perfect if I don't find more people to stay with though, so thanks for the tip!

You must go the way of the warrior:
1 get a locker
2 put your valuables in it
3 proceed to get so drunk you lose all sesne of reality
4 wake up in park covered in vomit
5 the way of the warrior has been walked!

maybe it even end you up with a sympathy couch!
