One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked 400km on feet for 10 days when I was 12 year old.
I participated in this 10-day challenge called 'The Great Adventure Around Korea' with my older brother.
I started off from Mokpo (the city located down the bottom of South Korea) and arrived in Seoul (near top north part of South Korea) exactly after 10 days of walk (average walk of 40km a day in cold winter at the age of 12)
I'd like to do it with my future kids again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am keen to teach Korean language if anyone wants to learn to communicate in Korean casual basis.
Want to improve general English conversation skills?
I've been living in New Zealand for 16 years and I can help you just by talking, sharing and chatting in English.
I also can share my adventure stories!

What I Can Share with Hosts
