More About Yeahjun Heo!

I see you've come here to find out more about me, so here is a rundown. I'm a Korean born but internationally raised third culture kid (TCK) that ended up in Kyoto, Japan for his studies. I study CS at Kyoto University with the specialization on IoT systems and network security. I intend to stay based in Japan for the next half decade or so, but I'm down to move wherever I can shine. Now let's go over some details about me, shall we?

I'm a 21st Century Nomad.

My definition of home has never been set place. Sometimes its South Korea, another time its where my family is. At one point, home was where I found the most comfort existing. And after living in five very distinct countries — South Korea, Oman, Philippines, Malta, and Japan — I've realized that I don't need to force a definition on the word. As long as I can form some meaning in my stay, then I can make that my home(s).

Although this might sound obvious to some, it took a while for myself to fully digest, especially so as a young adult. Moving from country to country
