Born in Tucumán, Argentina to Korean parents who met and got married in the Latin American country, Elena Suh spent her entire childhood there until she moved to Seoul to attend university. After living in Korea for over a decade in her twenties, she moved to Shanghai and was happily settled until the pandemic hit, and her short vacation to Argentina turned into a prolonged stay.  

We spoke about being raised by Korean parents in a different culture, and learning to embrace our Korean heritage and pungent foods later in life. Elena also talked about the culture shock that accompanied her move back to Korea, and finding comfort in Asian cities. Having lived in Asia for so long, Argentinian dinner time is now a tad too late, meaning snacking before 10 p.m. dinner parties.

Tune in to hear about two separate lives, lived on opposite ends of the world.
