I'm a regular Korean mom, happily juggling life while raising my two energetic elementary school kiddos!
I’ve had quite the journey! I was a Chinese language instructor and a simultaneous interpreter for Korean and Chinese. After I had my kids, I took a six-year break from my career. But three years ago, I decided to jump back into work and joined a global beauty marketing company. It’s been amazing! I’ve met and made friends with many foreign influencers and content creators living in Korea.
I spent ten fantastic years in China for my studies and work, which was quite an adventure! Being a foreigner in a new place definitely had its challenges, but it also brought so many rewarding experiences. When I eventually came back to Korea, I was surprised to see how much things had changed—it felt a bit different, like I was discovering my home all over again. It took some time to readjust and find my footing, but connecting with others who had gone through similar journeys really made a difference. We supported each other, shared stories, and it helped me feel more at home during the transition.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since I returned to Korea, 😂but I’m finally feeling more settled in. I’ve been wanting to connect with others who are also finding their way in a new environment.
