Own Words

I’m an OC gal that got lucky and worked her way to the Amsterdam office of a skate/snow/surf company.

I pinch myself every morning because I still can’t believe that I cycle past the Anne Frank House to get to work!

I didn’t embrace being Korean until I was 22 years old and I feel like there isn’t enough time to get those years back.

I currently get my Korean fix by:
– Watching dramas online: mysoju.com (i love F4!)
– Making Shin Ramen when it’s cold outside
– Making my Japanese and Dutch friends drive me to Germany for kimchi
– Meeting up with my Korean/German Oppa and letting him call me doeji (pig) :)
– Reading popseoul.com for the latest gossip

I’m defined by my work, friends and family; a foodie and a fat kid at heart; a gypsy with wanderlust; and have a serious addiction to the internet… seriously. :)
