Little did I know when we moved to South Korea what I was in store for during our 2-year stay. Life in Korea was eye-opening, interesting, challenging, and invigorating. I think the best way to introduce this gallery is to share my philosophy that traveling provides answers to questions we didn’t even know to ask.

It requires a higher level of engagement and energy to navigate foreign places and interact with people from a culture so different than my own. I found myself surprised and intrigued on a daily basis.

Having now left, I am thankful for the opportunity to have enjoyed the captivating colors, spectacular architecture, and delicious foods of South Korea. And, when I really think about life & how we live it, I learned the most from the kind people I encountered along the way.
