할머니 늘 사랑하고 감사합니다 ❤️ This is my lovely grandmother. She was with me ever since the day that I was born in New York City. To me, she was my caretaker, my biggest encourager, and one of the people I love the most in my life. It’s been 5 years ever since she moved back to Busan and NYC feels so different without her. My grandmother was my number one reason for this trip to celebrate her becoming the BIG 90. Grandma, For all you have done in my life I thank you with all of my soul & all I want for you is to continue living life to the fullest in health and happiness. I love you, grandma, and I will see you soon ❤️❤️❤️ #grandma #grandson #ohana #songfamily #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #iloveyou (at Busan, South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0mFYGH0vW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ie0c0frf886t

부산 다음때 까지 안뇽~ 🇰🇷✈️ . . . [Day 12] This morning was one of the hardest mornings to wake up to. Knowing that I have to leave my family and motherland brought me to tears. Expressing my gratitude and saying farewells to my beloved family relatives was incredibly bittersweet, as my heart imploded with happiness. This was an unforgettable vacation, probably one of the best ones as of yet. Farewells for now & Thank you for everything, Busan ❤️ #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #family #gimhae #11162018 (at 김해국제공항) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0jF-PHRZm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cstq2b3w4rbd

오늘밤의 달이 아름다웠다 🌃🌙 [Day 10] As my trip to Busan was nearing its end; my cousins, niece, and nephew wanted to celebrate my time here by having dinner at a Pizza & Pasta buffet. Afterwards, they brought me to one of the highest points in Busan to see an amazing evening view of Busan. That night was memorable and unforgettable 💫 #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #pizzamall #foodporn #starrynight #11142018 (at Busan, South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqvb6lLHLFF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7gwpm3xfsu8p

부산타워 탑꼭대기에 파노라마같은 전망을 봤다 🗼❤️ [Day 9] With my family, we got to see a beautiful panoramic view of the whole city of Busan. A fun fact: Busan Tower sits on top of 용두산 (Yong Du San) that is named because the mountain looks like a dragon’s head. #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #busantower #family #11132018 (at Busan Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqtBvsanlWk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j1dbhnnbfpo4

감천문화마을에서 서우 공주님이랑 빼빼로대이 보냈다 🍫❤️ [Day 8] I spent a belated Peppero Day with my adorable niece in this colorful village. This village used to be a slum for refugees in the Korean War until the late 2000’s; when a group of art students revitalized the town with art. Now I get to enjoy this artsy wonderland while wearing 한복 Hanbok (Traditional Korean folk wear) with this beautiful princess. #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #gamcheonculturevillage #hanbok #pepperoday #11122018 (at 감천문화마을) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqNZ9Wn-Pz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=by4tae1l07uq

부산의 예술을 구경한다 🏙🎨🖌 . . . [Day 5] I accidentally stumbled upon an art studio in a Lotte Department store and began to explore the art scene. I befriended a local artist named 배천순 (Bae Cheon Sun), who paints beautiful oil canvas paintings of Busan. Please check out her artwork sometime ❤️ #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #angelinuscoffee #baecheonsun #11092018 (at 광복동 롯데백화점) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiyPz4n8dq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k1trtbag0is6

스페인 라떼를 마시고, 해운대에서 마지막 기억들 만들었다 ☀️🌊☕️ . . . [Day 11] As my Busan trip slowly came to an end, I spent my last afternoon in Haeundae Beach with a aromatic cup of Spanish Latte’. Here I had that rare moment to focus on loving myself while breathing in the salty air and viewing the beautiful ocean. #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #haeundae #beach #selflove #sunkissed #11152018 (at 부산 해운대) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqykdL2HO7-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ga2wfpusarao

태종대는 아름답지만 참무서운곳이다 ㅋㅋㅋ 🌊⛰ [Day 10] Taejongdae is a beautiful natural cliff on the southern edge of the main peninsula of South Korea. The cliff was named after King Taejong, who is famously known for reuniting three divided kingdoms of Korea back in year 600s. As beautiful as it appeared, my cousin and I were scared looking down at the ocean below. #travelswithdenden #dynamicbusan #taejongdae #acrophobia #11142018 (at 태종대) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqva6mpn_FM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xw6gkbgcsnem

비토섬에서 외가족이랑 소중한 시간을 보냈다 (part 2) 🐇🐢🏝 . . . [Day 7] “Home is where the family is”. That is a quote that crossed my mind during that day in Bito Island. I grew up without seeing my blood relatives, as they all resided in the opposite side of the world. We didn’t grow up with privilege to go on annual vacations or hop on a plane to see my relatives every year or so. So even though I met my relatives at the most 4 times in my life, I truly love them and I truly cherish the very short yet quality time I have with them ❤️ #travelswithdenden #sacheon #bitoisland #ohana #11112018 (at 사천 비토섬) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqn0pOGnaMs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mc6ai070fkqx

비토섬에서 외가족이랑 소중한 시간을 보냈다 🐇🐢🏝 . . . [Day 6] I visited my relatives on my mother’s side on their island, Bito Island. Little did I know that the island has a folklore legend involving a rabbit and a turtle that is different from the “Tortoise and the Hare”. Fun facts to learn about your mother’s birthplace! #travelswithdenden #sacheon #bitoisland #nature #11102018 (at 사천 비토섬) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqk2VRDHhE2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ppusf3dxu4j
