Hi everyone! My name is Ian Chang, and here's some information about myself! I was born in Guatemala in 2001 and lived in the capital until 2012. Afterward, my family decided to move to Florida in the United States, where I still live. I live in a small city called Weston, located about 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale. With many cultures around, I met people of different backgrounds and appreciated their customs and traditions.
Back in Guatemala, Spanish is the main language in the country, but I also learned French because I studied at a French school since kindergarten. This gave me a chance to communicate better in French-speaking countries, such as France and Belgium, when I visited them. One thing about me is that I like visiting new countries and places because I like learning about the culture and history of the specific cities I visit. Plus, food is one thing I look forward to trying in new places.
I can't wait to show my journey to y'all and all the interesting places I visited during my time in South Korea. The culture is very different, so I'm excited to write about it for you guys to read and learn about them, too!
