My Travel Story

by: Ivan Kis Start Date: Sep 10, 2021 - End Date: Mar 9, 2022

Hey!
I'm Ivan, a software engineering student from Serbia.
I went to a student exchange program to Austria, and I met this Korean girl. We went to the same uni, and we "clicked" within the first few days of arriving.
I've never felt such pure love!
Our exchange period was four and a half months, out of which only ten days we weren't together. 

we traveled through half of Europe together during spring and summer breaks, lived together since the first day we met, met an uncountable number of amazing people together.
My parents own a small restaurant that server traditional Serbian food, so I showed her every recipe I knew. I was so lucky that she knew many Korean recipes as well.
At this point I fell in love with Korea, through food and Her. 
we didn't want to think what will happen to us when semester ends, until the end came close. 
I brought her to Serbia with me, where we had an unforgivable ten day grace period with no responsibilities.

The end came close, she had to go back to Seoul, to continue with her semester.
We cried, a lot.
We didn't spend a day apart for 4 1/2 months and now a distance of 8500 kilometers and seven time zones separates us. 

I promised her I will come and visit her, but living standards in Serbia are too low for me to finance the trip, let alone an extended stay.
I was looking for internship or exchange programs since we separated, but my budget doesn't come close to satisfactory.
I made this Fundmytravel in hopes I will see Jeongyeon again
