About Me

-----
"Currently, we accept only a family with kids."
-----

I am Youngki from South korea.

Me and my wife JiHye had travelled around the world between Mar. 2010~Jul.2011.
After then we have 1 more member, our child San-ha who was born in 2013.

For a while we would host only a family with kids.
Because our big interest is how to raise kid.

We want to talk and share the experience of nurturing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When we were travelling Nepal, a theft brought my wallet at night using fishing stick through the window. And he took big money from there without passport and credit card. We realized at morning and after changing our hotel, we went to internet cafe to call our parents.
We have our blog. And when we went to internet cafe, we saw that one of my friends in Korea left 1 message at that morning. She left like this,
"When I dreamed last night, you and your wife came to Korea and told me that you lost our money, so you came to korea in my dream."
She dreamed same thing when the theft took our money.

However we could continue the travel until now, oppposite to her dream.

I can make some simple Korean Food for you if you want. If you want specific one, please ask us. It is our great pleasure to make dishes for you.
