About Me

Now I am traveling around all world.

My journey started at May 31st. 2015. My first stop was China. And went to Vietnam and Cambodia. August 2015, I flew back and travel in China again. September in Hongkong for two weeks and then I am in Singapore. Probably travel southasia again. During this journey, I am trying to keep sketching what I see and feel as a record. You can see my drawings through my facebook page; www.facebook.com/heanukang

I was an salesman before. I have worked for a electrical product manufacturer in Korea for almost 16 years and sold a lot of electrical equipments & devices like copier, printer, projector, video conference system and 3D printers. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Usally it was too tough and hard but I could bear it for my family.

My dream was to be a good father and to be a strong fence for my family. I have two lovely doubly kids. One son and one girl. They are twins and now 11 years old. But, my marige life did not work any more and finally broken. We have never cheated each other but we divorced 2 years ago. That time I was so sad and dissapointed. To keep doing work was meaningless for me. So I seriously thought about what I want to do and what I want to be. Then I realized that I really like traveling and drawing.

So I made a decision. Last year April fools day, I quit my job. But, It's true! :-) And I sold my house to divide property and to save the whole budget of alimony and child support for 10 years.

Now I am jobless homeless backpacking doodlers. But I dreamed a dream that maybe I can be a good father to my kids. Several years later they will grow up. If they seriously thought and worried about their life and dream, then I can possibly tell them through my experiences. 'When you lost your way, there are still so many ways out of the way. Just do what you want and enjoy every moments.'

My journey is unscheduled and unplanned. Maybe it takes about 1 years or 1 and half years to complete. I have learned from every unexpected situation for a while.

If I got a chance, I will publish my drawing journal. It is my another dream.

Nobody knows about tomorrow, just enjoy each moment and thank for still being alive.
