Patriotism is not an abstract concept. It begins from one's own home. It buds out from the love for one's parents, spouses and children, the love for one's own home, village and workplace, and further develops into the love for one's country and fellow people.
- Kim Jong Un
The Itinerary
It's not even that serious. I've been traveling since I was airbound at 8 months from Seoul, South Korea to Portland, OR. I was adopted, applied for, waited for, and paid for by two white people from Dayton, OH. High school sweethearts. Catholic. Chemical and computer engineers from families.
​
I went to Korea with my roommate and friend from college to visit her family. It all happened randomly. I found a cute apartment on a cool block in Humboldt Park and descended from my River North high rise, because I was on my Buddha path. We were at Falcons at a club downtown. She randomly needed a place, and I was open to a roommate. I didn't want to live there alone anymore.
​
We got new under neighbors. She befriended them first. I was initially wary. The rest was history. We also went to Seattle and Vancouver for a girls trip and my Business Coaching Mastermind VIP with my coach and group of other girls. We had a great time. All of the girls liked me more than the coach, and Sunjin and I got to explore the city at our leisure and have solo time. We had great Korean, Japanese, and Italian fare.
​
She grew up in Texas and went to SAIC. I saved her life, and she came back to graduate later. We reconnected via music and mutual friendes. Her dad is a professor of Theology at a college and her mom works at the International School. Her brother is a sports writer and has side gigs.
