Hey there! Originally from Korea, I've lived in the US for about 7 and a half years in total, 8 months in Ecuador, and 3 months in Peru. Recently finished undergrad near Philadelphia, moved to DC to explore my options in international development.

I like the outdoors, never say no to trying new things, traveling like a local and learning about different cultures, listening and making music, getting to know people, social dancing, having meaningful conversations, strolling around the city, discovering a cute cafe and chilling by myself and people watching, going to farmer's markets or artisanal fairs, listening to the sounds around me and being in my own world, thinking about my next backpacking adventure around the world and how i can fund myself to do so, cooking and baking and being a bit creative with my recipes.

I love quirks and "alternative" options. I love being flexible which is also my motto.

I am both fascinated and intimidated by self-challenge. But I like to take the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too hard to pick just one!
