As you see in the title, this drawing started from thinking about the word 'Explore'.

I love traveling.

And I've traveled 11 cities in Europe at 2007. ; UK(London), The Netherlands(Amsterdam), Germany(Munich), Czech Republic(Prague), Austria(Vienna), Italy(Venice, Rome, Florence),  Switzerland(Lucerne), Spain(Barcelona), France (Paris)
And backpacking in India for 1 month at 2008. Also in Korea at same year.
Recently traveled California with my boyfriend at 2012.
