Two sayings to describe me
1. I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious - Albert Einstein
2. The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. - St. Augustine

I am a very curious person, have a lot of interests and want to challenge myself to try new things. I love meeting people sharing ideas and thoughts, accumulate precious memories and treasure relationships. My belief is that people gather similar people around them.
I have experience in military service(Republic of Korea Air Force) as translator/interpreter in the field of CBRNE, finished half marathon, indoor rock climbing (a little), bicycle trips(in Korea), farmwork, teaching English, Coffee franchise(finance team), University Staff(international affairs team - exchange students),
I speak English and Korean fluently, speak basic Japanese and am learning Spanish recently.
