'Blooming lotus with bright sunshine'

This is the meaning of my name, 'Ha jeong'.
My parents made this name by their own for me, And I am living now by the meaning of this name.
Lotus, is the flower which grow up in mud. My parents wanted me to be a bright girl who never lost smile and positive mind even in bad surroundings, like mud.
I really live like that, I love my life, although I had many obstacles,
I love meeting people around the all world, accepting new culture, talking with multicultural people.
listening to their stories, visiting new places, and doing unique experiences.

I promise that I'll be your sincere friend, regardless of your gender, age, hobby, and so on,
just if you have warm heart and open mind for the world!

If you welcome me,
I give you a 'privilege' which you can be remembered deeply in a newbie traveler girls' heart! :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I participated in 'International Children's Sports game' - ICG in Canada 2013 as a athlete,
which I just volunteered in 2012 ICG in Daegu Korea!
I never imagined that I'd play a part in a competition which I participated in a volunteer act a year ago!

- Planning a single travel to Europe, for about 2 weeks alone, with my own money,
Different countries differ in adult standards.
In Europe, 18 years old is generally an adult But I am still a student who will be protected in Korea.
I spent three years alone collecting money, persuading my parents, train tickets, transportation, museums,
etc, I studied European history, world history, humanities, western art and Western art history for this
traveling which have been my roman since I was young, And.... Now I have my dream in front of my eyes.

Be together with my dream-achieving!
