Toronto, ON, Canada

November-December, 2011

My first trip to abroad to see my grandparents in Toronto. Since I was 2 years old then, I actually do not have detailed memories of this trip. However, I have some photos of happiness and joy. I was eating giant lobsters and having big smiles. In photos, my grandparents look much younger and healthier than now and that makes me little bit sad. I wish my grandparents are happy and healthy forever.

Boracay Island, Philippines

February, 2014

This was my last trip with my parents as a only child of them. My little sister was a tiny baby at that time, so she was left in Seoul with my grandparents. I played at the beautiful white beach of the Boracay island all day long. Boracay's white beach is the one of the world's 3 most beautiful beaches, and my family enjoyed it to the fullest. Building sand castles with my Dad under the tremendous sunset on the beach is unforgettable.

Fargo, ND, US

March, 2015

My family visited Fargo in North Dakota for preliminary survey. We were to live in this city for few coming years because of my Dad's job. It was a long long flight with several transits and the city was awfully cold to -30 Celsius degree. I remember the feelings of ambivalence at that time. I expected new experiences in Fargo, at the same time, I was afraid of a whole new life in this city. The three years life in Fargo is definitely a great turning point of my life!

Clearwater, FL, US

March, 2016

Hello, Mr. SUNSHINE!

I spent a long freezy winter in Fargo, and went to the Florida to absorb some vitamin Ds. I had already 2 sisters at this time and we had a great time on the unbelievably gorgeous beaches for a week. The foods and fruits were amazing! The sun in Florida was different from the sun in other cities. Are there two Suns in this universe?

Chicago, IL, US

June 2016

This was my first time being awakened of Architecture. In Chicago, there are a lot of tremendous architectural masterpieces all around the city. We did the Chicago River Architecture Tour from Magnificent Mile to the Michigan lake and saw fireworks on the boat. It was really "MAGNIFICENT" and the night was unfadable. The Cloud Gate, a.k.a. the Bean, was so breathtaking, I wish I brought it home. Though I was only seven, I was interested in so many beautiful buildings there, and wondering why this city has them exclusively. I felt like I love Chicago!

Atlanta, GA, US

July-August, 2016

The city of CNN and Coca-cola! I was impressed by hundreds of tastes of Coca-cola. I could even drink them from dispensers "for free" as many times as I wanted. My mom was so permissive on that day and that made me joyful and happy. The memory of this trip is so sweet as Coca-cola.

Minneapolis, MN, US

October, 2016

For me, Minneapolis is like a city of jewel box. I lived in Fargo in 2015-2017 and it was a city of boredom, snowstorms, freezings and nothing fun in a long winter. Minneapolis was the nearest big city from Fargo (4 hours by car), and this city had almost everything I needed. The Mall of America, the Nickelodeon Universe, water parks and Korean restaurants. It was like another Christmas Day to go Minneapolis. Along the Mississippi River, there are old mill factories well preserved, they are so unique and special. My mom loved to go there.
