I'm SH Jin. I'm from Korea(South) and love traveling. Probably the biggest passion I have is seeing different cultures. I love to see beautiful places in the world. It's something that gives no words to describe to the people who have not done it.

I am also interested in history and culture. I would like to talk together local people to discover another aspect of culture.

[CURRENT MISSION]
- Seize the day

[Philliosophy]
