I attended the first Afterwork international expat gathering of the year at Côté Jardin in Itaewon, Seoul.
Gatherings like this highlight how Korea is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub.

Two inspiring sessions in Seoul — one on startup leadership, the other on AI.

Being close to the frontier has its own kind of energy. Ideas spark, perspectives widen, and learning happens almost effortlessly.

Spent the day in Seoul with digital nomads — working together at a cozy café, then sharing lunch at an Indian restaurant.

Grateful for this borderless way of living and working!

I attended the Web3 Open Conference today.

Web3 represents the next phase of the internet—moving away from centralized Web2 platforms toward a decentralized, user-owned web built on blockchain technology.

What an inspiring day!

In Korea’s traditional age system, we all grow one year older as the year changes—and eating a bowl of tteokguk is the symbolic way to welcome that new age.

On New Year’s Eve, I gathered with my Chillpal friends to share snacks and drinks, make new friends, enjoy a fun quiz competition, and count down to the New Year together.

Happy New Year!

On the eve of Christmas Eve, I was invited by the Korean-German Network (ADeKo) to a special evening at MCM Haus. It was an evening that captured the magic, warmth, and elegance of the Christmas season.
