Description

★Walk, Write, and Draw and Reflect Until I meet Myself Again After Crossing Half of the Earth
★The book has received near-perfect scores of 10 from readers at Korea’s three major representative bookstores (Kyobo Book, YES24, and Aladdin)!

Your mid-twenties often feel like a time of disorientation—when it seems everyone else is moving forward while you remain stuck, unsure of where you belong. But what if the question isn’t where, but how to belong?

This book offers a gentle yet profound reflection on that question. Through vivid depictions of the places encountered on a two-year journey—beginning and ending in Seoul—the author invites readers into a deeply personal search for meaning of life. Along the way, the author uncovers a quiet but powerful truth:

‘Wherever we are, we can live as ourselves—and that includes the very place we once felt the need to leave.’
