Hey there!
Welcome to my brand new blog. Please excuse the state it is in, as it will take some time for a very un-tech savvy person like me to figure out how WordPress works. This home page, as well as different parts of my blog will continue to be updated as I navigate how I want to express myself.
I love writing about music, travel, languages, art exhibits, theatre plays. I have started this blog because I have quite a few pieces of writing I have accumulated over the years across platforms, and wanted to find a home for all of them.
So I’ll start by gathering them all here, brushing them up a bit. I will also have them translated into English, as a lot of my pieces were originally written in Korean. If you are a huge arts nerd like me, welcome. Thank you for visiting.

- Art Review – Before We Get StartedOn My Taste in Art: Before I start writing proper reviews, I want to map out what actually draws me to a piece. A reference point for the posts to come.

About Me
Hi, I’m Caroline.
I was born in Korea, moved to Toronto with my family when I was 10 years old, then moved to Ottawa 6 years ago when I started my career in public service.
My identity as a Korean-Canadian is one of the parts about myself that I value most, and has and continues to influence the way I experience and view the world. So this blog is both an experiment and experience for me to express and bridge the two halves of my identities.
