Personal Life ☘️

A Glimpse into My Dynamic Life

When I introduce myself, I always start with this phrase: "I'm the most extrovert person among the introvert 🌟"

In summer, you’ll find me catching waves on the east coast of Korea, surfing my heart out 🏄‍♂️. In winter, I’m all about skiing down the slopes ⛷️. One of my most thrilling experiences was in the winter of 2023, when I hit the slopes at Nozawa Onsen in Japan. There's nothing quite like soaking in a hot spring after an exhilarating day of skiing! 🏔️

I also have a passion for driving 🚗. There's an incredible sense of freedom that comes with hitting the road, with no limits on time or destination. My car isn't just a vehicle; it's my mobile sanctuary and a gateway to endless adventures! 🏠 By the way, my car's name is 쑥쑥이[s̕uk̚s̕uk̚i] which means "to grow well together"—a perfect companion for my journey! ☘️ 

A Life of Adventure and Flavor

When I was in elementary school, my grandfather, the geographer, always took me on overseas trips 🌍. Those adventures sparked a lifelong passion for travel. As soon as I became an adult, I started earning money on my own to fuel my wanderlust and explore new places ✈️.

My love for coffee started there. ☕. I started out working part-time at my favorite local coffee shop, which led to experiences in a roastery and even as a café manager! One day, I dream of opening my own café after retirement, where I can share my passion for coffee with everyone. Starting my day with a freshly brewed cup is my little daily happiness. When I have the time, I love making fruit syrups to gift to my friends and family 🍊.

The People Who Enrich My Life

When it comes to sharing my story, I can’t leave out my friends. They occupy a huge part of my life, each bringing their own unique personalities to expand my horizons 🌈. From a guidance counselor to an influencer, a magazine editor to an architect, listening to their diverse stories is always a joy for me! Whether we’re exchanging life advice, sharing the latest trends, or discussing innovative designs, my friends constantly inspire me and keep life exciting. 💬✨

The Heart of My World

I can't imagine my life without my family. They are my rock and my inspiration. When I was down because of low grades, my dad always said, "Did you do your best? Then that's enough!" His words became the foundation of my life, driving me to always give my best effort 💪.

I deeply love my grandmother, grandfather, dad, mom, my cousin, and even our youngest family member, Loki, the orange cat 🐱. Every moment spent with them feels timeless, and I wish those moments could last forever.

Fun fact: I graduated from the same graduate school as my mom and dad! The photo on the far left was taken as a tribute to an old picture of my mom—check out the wonders of genetics! 📸❤️
