Peace Camp 2016 - Highlights

In my previous blog post, I promised to update my blog as often as possible… although due to limited wifi & free time, spending 40 minutes everyday writing an article was basically out of the question. The 2016 Peace Camp, hosted by the MPVA (Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs)

Arriving in Seoul for the first time

💡This is a post I wrote to share with my grandparents when I just arrived in Korea back in 2012. I was barely 18 years old and for the first time independent + in a new country. It's actually embarrassing but funny at the same time, which is why
