Hiking
I grew up living near a river in Korea and I have fond memories from childhood walking alongside it while. Even now, whenever I go back home I still like to spend a few hours by the river admiring the water and the wildlife around it.
I also love hiking mountains and parks. There's a lot of mountains around Seoul that my family and I used to climb on the weekends. My favorite part about hiking apart from reaching the summit is coming back down and eating a really good meal. I've made it my goal to go up Mount Rainier and Mount Olympic while I'm at USC!
Journaling
Recently, I've gotten into journaling and it's been very healing. I like collecting trinkets from every day life—like tea bags and receipts—so it's been nice being able to paste them and remember all the small moments of happiness I tend to forget.
My goal for journaling is to write one good thing that happened every day and practice giving gratitude to the little miracles that happen all the time. It's been hard staying consistent with this practice but I'm getting there!
