About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world and get to know more culture and people

ABOUT ME

I am working as an artist, teaching comics and storytelling in South Korea. I once traveled in Europe as a backpacker, gee... so many many years ago.
And in 2012, I traveled around the world, covering 12 countries for 8 months. It was life-changing experience, igniting back my old passion for backpacking travelling. It surely opens my mind and see things from new perspective. I will travel further and more as much as possible for sure! I'm very open, adventurous and self-contained. You'll find me pretty fun to hang out if you don't mind my questions. On the other hand, I'm good at listening as well and making people laugh!:-)

PHILOSOPHY

Add one step to a better world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My passion has been mainly on Comics and story making but my general interests are vary. I'm basically bookworm and moviegoer. Want to be more exposed to various life styles that interest me. I recently started learning piano and I got a diving license in Egypt. I greatly treasure the value of learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.... I went off to the U.S many years after college to get M.A with no English or money, a few days after 9/11. Was it brave or stupid? I didn't know so just went on. I ended up with many colorful stories about how I survived in such poor initial condition. I've been indebted to many, many nice people of great heart for my survival. Second, I never gave up my passion and belief in my old love in comics and now, I'm working officially and happily for it. After a few awakening moments in life, including my world trip 2012, I search for a way to benefit others, society and world as well. I'm thinking hard!
