“尊敬 RESPECT”

I grew up in Korea, a small country with a homogeneous culture.

The word Korean encompasses everything: country, people, culture, cuisine, language, and so on. Koreans are known for their conservative traditions and long and complex history.

While I was growing up, I couldn’t wait to get out after I found out about this wild & exciting world, so I did. I travelled non-stop for the past three years to over 30 countries, and encountered many different cultures, customs, races and ethnicities.

People often ask why I travel.

I love finding similarities and differences between my own culture and others. It was surprising to see similar mindsets and lifestyles in countries on the other side of the globe. I thought I was (Koreans were) isolated and different, but it turns out we are all the same. We just do the same things differently.

During this process I found deep respect for others who are living with their traditions. Traditional clothes, foods, lifestyle, and so on. At the same time, I found a new respect for my own culture. I now appreciate that I have a different background even more, that I grew up in such a homogeneous culture in a country with a 5,000-year-old history, and I know exactly what my culture is.

I’m proud to be Korean. Sometimes you have to go away to see things at home clearly, and that’s what has happened to me.
