About Me

I think the best word that describes myself is - Impulsive Wanderlust

Since I was really young I have always been curious to discover the world, and my first destination was the United States. I secretly took a test for exchange student program and my parents ended up giving up and allowed me to study abroad.
-That was when I was 15 years old.

My initial plan to stay there for one year got extended to 3 years, so I ended up doing my Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and half of Senior year of High School in the States.
-I got bored, then I looked up for another exchange student program to Spain, so I went to Spain when I was 18 years old.

I had to go back to Korea to finish university, but I found my way out to sneak out to Montevideo, Uruguay (which is the exact opposite point from Korea)

I had to go back to Korea, but resisted. Worked and lived in Argentina as well.
Buenos Aires is so far my soul city.

To make the long story short, all these places I lived- S. Korea, USA, Spain, Uruguay, and Argentina -have shaped how I am. I'm probably the most un-Korean girl that you could ever encounter with latina soul but at the same time I also value Korean or American style efficiency and believe in good education, etc.

Maybe it will be much better to get to know me in person than reading my whole biography :)
