Hello everyone!

I am a chill, open-minded, easy-going Korean-American adventurer from California.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with bachelor degrees in Public Health and Psychology. Then worked for about two years in medical offices and decided to quit that life and try something new. Decided to solo travel and ended up exploring Asia for about 15 months, and during my travels, I worked odd jobs, exploring different lifestyles/cultures and expanding my mind in the real world. After returning back to Southern California and started my own business, I’m now excited to travel again!

DJ, lover, hiker, volunteer, scuba diver, backpacker, trekker, yogi, bisexual, world traveler 🙋🏻‍♂️🏳️‍🌈

I've already made so many friends around the world on my incredible journey and have CS to thank for them! I loved all the experiences and friendships I've made through CS. ❤️ Feel free to message me; let's meet up, grab dinner, travel together, go out dancing/partying, or just chat if I'm around! 👍

~POSITIVE VIBES, POSITIVE TIMES~
