CURRENT MISSION

Working hard and being free at the same time

ABOUT ME

The intro below written about four years ago when I was traveling around Europe as a student makes me envy myself of that time A LOT..

Now Im one of the ordinary office workers in Korea but always dreaming of something extraordinary come up to my daily life and change things for good like 'alice in wonderland'. See you in the rabbit hole 😉😁

Hi, I'm Gibaek from South Korea. For me, travel is a kind of current mission that I have because I love to go around somewhere I don't know, and experience and get to know about new places and take pictures of them. I love to take photos and make note on that. So I'm dreaming of my future which is like that; I'm a writer roaming around the world with my camera and writing about people and their stories who I have met.

Now I'm staying in Dublin, Ireland doing volunteering jobs. I work for people with intellectual disabilities now, and it is being very impressive experience I would say. While doing that, I'm trying to do my best to experience as many places as I can. I want to meet people living in different parts of the world and be a friend of them.

Literature and Photography I like the most, probably.I like singing, of course listening to good musics, I love music so much. I like to cook something but can't guarantee the taste, haha. Movie also I love.

PHILOSOPHY

"The core of manspirit comes from new experiences."
I heard this from a movie "into the wild" and fully agree with it.

singing and listening, reading and writing, taking pictures, making book and music collections, travelling around Europe(going to expand to the whole world), walking, eating(I wanna try to eat every food in the world), etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I pick just one, I would pick the first moment I realized I'm in love.

Teach, Learn, Share

Meeting people includes all three things. It is teaching someone at the same time learning from them by sharing our lives. So, let's meet!
