Personal/Cultural
My journey spans Korea, Spain, and England, intertwining vibrant streets with historical landscapes. In our multicultural family, we embrace the richness of varied experiences as we navigate the joys and chaos of raising our four children. Traveling further enriches our lives, offering new perspectives and adventures. Amidst the bustle of daily life, we find solace in shared meals, where diverse cuisines and music creates moments of connection and joy, reminding us that home is wherever our hearts lead us.
