This article tells the story of Jeon Seong-jin, a South Korean food magazine editor who pursued a long-held dream of moving abroad, specifically to Berlin. Jeon sought to reinvent herself in a completely new environment where she was not recognized, desiring to leave behind her past. Through frequent travels, she acknowledges the naive nature of her dream, yet still embarks on this journey, excited yet aware of the challenges that lay ahead. In Berlin, she shares her experiences and insights regarding her adaptation to a foreign culture. Jeon, who is openly a lesbian and engages in media platforms like YouTube and podcasts as 'Gyeongyeo', uses her two recently published books to recount her experiences without getting overly sentimental. The narrative focuses on her relationships, including life with her quirky housemate 'Jonas' in the Neukölln district, where she reflects on the physical and emotional strains that come with adjusting to a new country. Jeon's encounter with dislocation and her journey in self-discovery serve as central themes in her writing. The article also touches upon her time in the northeastern Paris area of Saint-Denis, known for its diverse immigrant population. Jeon reflects on the cultural richness she experienced there, despite the language barrier, finding joy in the simplest of things like affordable local food and community spirit. Ultimately, her journey underlines the resilience and adaptability of individuals in a globalized world.
