Hello!
안녕하세요~~~
My name is Imari Williams, and I’m from Portland, Oregon where I’ve lived all my life so far. But boy, do I love to travel. Plane, train, car rides stuck in the very back with no leg room until we hit the Grand Canyon, yup, I love that too. The best part of travelling is getting to meet new people and learn different perspectives. My love of travel has led me to South Korea where I am currently in the middle of spending one year at a Korean university in the capital of Seoul. And it is at this point that you are all joining me, so let’s get to know each other a bit as we begin this journey together.
My full name is Imari Simone Williams. "Imari" comes from the Swahili name "Imara" meaning firm and solid warrior. My mother picked my name and I love it. When I was young it used to be hard to have a non-typical name, because people had such a hard time pronouncing it. But as I've grown, I appreciate the thought my mother put into naming me.
