About Me

My name is Alissa with a Korean American background. My early years were split between the bustling streets of Seoul and the coastal charm of Busan until I was six, after which my family immigrated to the United States. I moved around a lot but mainly grew up in Chicago.

I have been living in South Korea for over 4 years and been around Asia A LOT. In the past, I was a Spanish Immersion Teacher, proudly wielding fluency in three languages.

My heart is poured to my three-year-old daughter, who seems to have inherited my wanderlust and my almost one-year-old who is a wild wanderer. Together, we embark on adventures near and far, constantly on the lookout for toddler-friendly havens and delightful activities to spark their curiosity.

Driven by a passion for exploration and a knack for discovering hidden gems, I’ve crafted this travel website with fellow parents in mind. My goal? To make your family trips not only hassle-free but also culturally enriching, steering clear of the tourist traps and embracing the charm of lesser-known locales. Join me on this journey of discovery, where we’ll uncover tantalizing food spots and clever ways to stretch our travel budget, all while creating amazing memories with our loved ones.
