To Seoul, in the Saddle

July 22, 2020

From July 12th to July 18th, me and my buddy Don toured the length of the Korean peninsula from our southern hometown of Busan to the northern metropolis of Seoul along what is known as the 4 Rivers Trail. Over the course of a little over six days, three of which included riding in the […]

광산 마을 || Ilgwang Mine

September 1, 2019September 1, 2019

Ilgwang in Busan, South Korea and Niko in Japan share the same Chinese character(日光). Japanese companies ran copper mines in both cities of the same name. ⁣ During the period of Japanese occupation, some Koreans were relocated to work in Niko or stayed to work in Il-gwang. ⁣ The now deserted mine, nestled underneath underpasses and scattered […]

Michigan

August 24, 2017August 1, 2017

When I got back home from Asia this summer, I was looking forward to just catching back up with life. However, it just wasn’t it the cards just yet, at least for another few weeks. After I completed my last doctoral course (just have to write a dissertation now), I was off to Michigan for […]

Hiroshima, Japan

August 15, 2017January 27, 2018

Our last day trip was to the city of Hiroshima. Hiroshima was the city I was most looking forward to since I have a deep interest in social studies and history, especially that of World War II. The five-hour train ride surprisingly didn’t feel as long as it actually was. Although, we definitely felt the […]

Kyoto, Japan

August 4, 2017July 30, 2017

Getting out of the mega-city of Tokyo was a nice break every couple days or so. It just so happened that after we got our rail passes that we decided to schedule a day trip outside of Tokyo about every other day. The bullet train ride from Tokyo to Kyoto was about three hours. When […]

Mount Fuji & Aokigahara

July 25, 2017July 25, 2017

Of course, Mount Fuji was at the top of our to-do list while in Japan. Driving in Japan is manageable in a physical sense, but perhaps not as feasible in a mental and emotional sense. Just getting out of Tokyo was an adventure in and of itself. Although, once we got moving, it wasn’t so […]

Kawagoe, Japan

July 15, 2017July 15, 2017

After three days of struggling with a rental car in Tokyo, me and my two friends racked up a $300 parking bill, sideswiped a cement pole, and got stuck in what was essentially an alleyway (but is somehow used for cars). It took us a solid four hours to actually get the car out of […]

Tokyo, Japan

July 5, 2017

Thus far, this summer has been filled with a lot of traveling and adventure to say the least. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting about my previous few weeks of summer travels and highlighting the places that I visited, people I met through the images I was able to capture with my […]

Busan, South Korea

March 21, 2017June 4, 2017

Since I created my book, twenty seven, twenty eight, the creative process that went along with it has transformed how I want to view and live my life. I want to learn and experience as much as I can of all that the world has to offer. I do not want to waste time or […]
