Aloha!
My name is Natalie Kwon, and I am a senior from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa as a candidate for a BBA in Human Resources, Marketing, and International Business. From August 2021 to January 2022, I will be studying overseas at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea on exchange. On this site, I will post about my studies, cultural experiences, successes, fails, and notable memories abroad. As a Hawaii local most of my life, I am used to the laid back, "Hawaiian time" casual culture. I've grown to love the islands' relaxed dress codes, potluck-style meals, and adoption of endless aunties and uncles. However, as a quarter Korean and a fifth generation Hawaii local, studying abroad is an opportunity to reflect. To look back at our past origins is the best way to understand and appreciate the life we live today. So, please join me on this journey across the Pacific! |
Safe travels,
Natalie Kwon
