I must first say, I didn’t have the best time for the first half of my life. My birthdays were usually an extension of that hardship. All that was missing in my life became more intense and visible that day. The timing in the year didn’t help
But I decided to change it and turn something that always has been a sad day for me into a celebration of my life. It is a reward to myself for my dedication to be happy and thrive through all the hardship I was thrown into.
Birthday Travel Tradition (BTT):
In the summer of 2015 I left Europe for the very first time, I went back to South Korea my birth country and in that same year I celebrated my birthday for the very first time abroad. In another country and another continent, it was in Stellenbosch, South Africa
Since then I kept the tradition on going to spend it each year in a different country and continent:
2015: South Africa – Africa
2016: Brazil – South America
2017: Mรฉxico – North America
2018: Palau – Oceania
2019: Kenya – Africa
2020: Turkey – Asia
