😋 I miss going out to find new and interesting places to eat like I did in Seoul. This amazing burger was from Grain in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul. I was always on the hunt for avocado goodness in Seoul. I am so gad that it is becoming ever more common! Here in California, we're drowning in avos! Haha It's a good life for real. If you love avos, comment with a 🥑! #avos #avocado #avocado🥑 #avocadoburger #burgers #burgerlover #burgersofinstagram #burgerburgerburger #burgerandfries🍔🍟 #healthy #healthyliving #healthyfats #Grain #GrainKorea #yeonnamdong #seoul #korea #travel #dametraveler #femmetravel #eatfortheinsta #seoulody #seoulodythefoodie #latinaslovetravel #wocwhotravel #yolo #livetoeat #eattolive #foodie #foodieforever

😺 If you would have told me when this picture was taken a little over a month ago that I would be employed as a Social Media Marketer for a company in Newport Beach, I would NOT have believed it! 😸 🇺🇸 Coming back to America, I was SO nervous because I was planning on changing my career to a field that was previously just a hobby. However, I put myself out there and managed to have a great interview! 🤗 🙈 I think having short hair helped to some extent because I already have to be braver than usual just by walking out the door. So when it came to the interview, I squared my shoulders, kept a smile on my face, and was very honest. 😊 👀 When I could see the doubt creeping through because of my lack of experience, I offered to go through a test. I asked for "homework." Give me an assignment, and I WILL prove myself. I will hand in a writing sample that'll show that yes, I CAN do this job, and do it WELL. ✔ 🙏 Thankfully, that is exactly what happened! I spent a good 6 hours researching and editing my "homework." I sent it out in the morning with my heart racing and my fingers crossed. The rest is history. 🤞 😍 Thank you so much to everyone who sent me messages of support before, and messages of congratulations after I got the job! I will be updating you about my experience here because I know that the future can be so uncertain, and I just want to face it head on like I usually do: with a big smile. 😄 #employed #employment #igotthejob #career #careerchange #california #california_igers #newport #newportbeach #california #fromkoreatoamerica #creemare #kbeauty #rehair #mermaid #mermaidhair #plussize #plussizemodel #theconfidencecorner #visiblyplussize #jeanjacket #seoul #seoulody #seoulodysmiles #kissmycurves #curvygirl (at Irvine, California)

🤔 What is a better combination than apple pie and ice cream? I just HAD to try this flavor at @coldstone since my mom had a $10 gift card! 😂 🍦 What is your favorite combination?

😋 Right where I belong.~ I thought it would be much warmer in California, but that volcano in Hawaii is sending us nothing but chilly weather! 😨 Maybe I should take out my cute fall sweaters instead 😂 #dametraveler #femmetravel #travelcalifornia #ig_california #california #visit_california #igers_california #seoulody #smile #coronadelmarbeach #coronadelmar #beachin #beachinit #beachbody #girlswithshavedheads #shavedhead #denimjacket #plussizemodel #cliffs #coronadelmarhomes #blueskies #ocean #mermaid (at Corona del Mar State Beach)

🇰🇷 Korea has some good Mexican food. Really. I like Gusto Taco near Sangsu Station and B'Mucho Cantina in Yeonnam. 🇰🇷 😂 Hell, even @ontheborder_kr was pretty good. 😂 😜 BUT it doesn't get better than super authentic Mexican food in Southern California. I mean, how could it? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 💁🏼‍♀️ If you're in California, go to Olivia's Mexican Restaurant! 🇲🇽 (9447 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA 92503) The flautas were BAE, and so was just the whole plate of delicious Mexican culinary goodness! 😚 #gustotaco #cheese #latin #latinfood #mexicanfood #taquito #flauta #구스토타코  #맥시칸음식  #치즈  #igfood #bmuchocantina #yeonnamdong #연남동맛집 #상수 #eatstagram #foodphotography #foodvsco #foodpics  #dametraveler #oliviasmexicanrestaurant #travelseoul #ig_korea #iseoulu #visit_korea #riverside #seoulodytravels #seoulody #canonm100 (at Olivia's Mexican Restaurant)

I was walking Hunter when I stumbled upon this! Haha I wonder who took all the time to gather the fallen flowers and make this. The one thing I really love about Irvine is the grass. So much green surrounding us and fresh, clean air to boot. I heard that it is humid af in Korea, and the mold is out of control. Remembering the mold in my previous place... yuck. Some people said that they just want to leave Korea now because the pollution is so horrible, too! What do you guys think about that? #dametraveler #femmetravel #travelcalifornia #ig_california #irvine_california #visit_california #igers_california #sheisnotlost #travelingram #traveltheworld #traveladdict #femmetravel #travelgram #wocwhotravel #🇺🇸#flowers #flowerpower #peruana #latinas #latinaslovetravel #latinastravel #viaje #여행스타그램 #여행하는여자 #켈리포니아 (at Irvine, California)

👭🏼 Spent the day in L.A. with one of the best gal pals I have in this world. We walked around so much in the sunshine that I passed out when I got home from exhaustion. 😂 📍 Where did you go last with your bestie? 👭🏼 #rideordie #loyal #friendsforever #latina #latinas #losangeles #instagramlessrebeca #latinastravel #wocwhotravel #womenofcolor #nomakeup #amigas #chicas#chicaslatinas #Spanish #Peru #Brazil #Nicaragua #American #Canadian #🇨🇦 #🇺🇸 #🇵🇪 #🇧🇷 #🇳🇮 #🇪🇸 (at Egg Slut)

👂 I heard it rained a lot after I left Korea, and that the pollution is really bad. 😷 ☀️ It's sunny skies here in Cali, just like on this pretty spring day at Seoul Forest. ☀️ 🙄 I hope the Korean government does a lot more to address the pollution problem in-house because NEWS FLASH: all the pollution is NOT coming from China. 🐸☕ 📦 Anyway, I am sorting through all the boxes I sent looking for my pink wig~ wish me luck!

😁😁😁 I went to Ulta today and a man held the door open for me and said with a smile, "I like your style!" I was wearing a huge black dress and my silver earrings lol. The shaved look really does get people noticing haha. If they are too nice to me, I may just keep it shaved. 😂😂😂 💕💕💕 Anyway, his compliment made me feel like a princess, so I found the perfect picture of how I felt on the inside. 👑👑👑 😍 How do you guys feel when you get genuine compliments from strangers? 😍 📸 @sealbbb 📸 #yongmaland #smile #pinkstagram #allthingspink #fashiongram #fashiondiaries #modelfashion #theconfidencecorner #beautybeyondsize #stylehasnosize #dropthestigma #honormycurves #visiblyplussize #goldenconfidence #dametraveler #femmetravel #travelseoul #canonm100 #igers_seoul #seoulody (at Yongma Land)

🌸☕ At least I managed to try one Cherry Blossom latte in Korea before they went out of season. Wish the cups would always be this pink and beautiful. ☕🌸 💕 By the way, if you haven't yet, like the previous post!

🌸 You know what I am going to miss? All the cool and uniques cafes in Seoul. They are all relatively easy to get to also. I hope I find as many places in California. It just sucks that I have to drive to every single one and that they're spaced so far apart. Still! Imma be on the lookout! If you live in Seoul, go out and enjoy all the cafes as much as you can! There are so many! 😍 🌸 Try following @soju4two because she is always exploring and finding the best cafes! @thesoulofseoulblog is always finding the best places to visit in Seoul or in it's outskirts. If you guys didn't know already, they are hosting the Seoul Derby! It is going to be a ton of fun and you'll go to plenty of great places that'll be perfect for Instagram!
