Where in the World is CorinneisKorean?

Currently, Korea.

This is also the second time I've tried writing this post.

First time ended up really long and involved and wasn't finished and when I came back to it I just... lost whatever motivating spark I had for that word vomit-y emotional expose.

It's a little difficult writing an update post after 6 months of absence. On one hand, there's an urge to get into the nitty gritty and explain everything. On the other... there's a desire to simplify and move on. Oh, the duality of man.

For now, I've decided something in the middle. I've been active on Instagram about my travelling, and most of my close friends know the details, so for this I'll summarize, and if you have questions or want clarification, feel free to comment below and we can have a conversation.

Cue the bullet points!

In the past 6 months, I've:

-played DND

-gone to the RenFaire cosplaying my DND character

So that's... the main highlight reel, for now. I'll be flying back to the states in a couple days and off to my next adventure.
