About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always be happy, positive, and daring! Carpe Diem:)

ABOUT ME

I am a Korean living currently in Barcelona for my exchange, but I've lived most of my life in Bangkok, Thailand. In that sense, I am a perfect third culture child, but instead of being lost, I decided to take this as an advantage to emerge myself into even more different cultures! That's why I love traveling. My biggest interest in music, which I believe is the most beautiful way for people to express themselves, either with words or just with the harmony the instruments create.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I have much to learn from everyday life and from everyone I meet. I am very thankful of everything I have done or faced in my life and everyone I have encountered (regardless of the experience being good or bad) for building a person who I am today. My life is full of wonders and great achievements, and I cannot wait what the next chapters in my life will bring to me!:D

Interests

Music (listening, playing, and sharing), traveling, learning a new language, discovering good restaurants and trying different food!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music from all different cultures, and love discovering and listening new ones! I also love singing and playing instruments (like guitar or piano), and basically just sharing musical interest with others! My favorite movie would be "The Pianist", but with the exception of horror and gruesome movies, I'm pretty much okay with any movies. I like fictions, although I'd rather watch a movie based on books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Twilight in the Thai mountains after camping near a river during a rafting trip.
Traveling from Seoul to Busan (end to end in the Korean peninsula) by bike.
Performing in an university concert for the school festival in front of many people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Korean, English, and some bits of different languages (Mandarin, Thai, Spanish). I've lived in Thailand most of my life and in Korea for a few years, so I may give some cultural background from the two countries, and maybe Barcelona though I've lived for only half a year. I also play some musical instruments like guitar and keyboard, so if anyone wants to learn the basics, I may offer some help!

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore

Countries I’ve Lived In

South Korea, Spain, Thailand
