Kaylee the Cougar - South Korea / Taiwan ‘24

In 2022, while studying abroad in South Korea, I met a group of strangers in a bar who were soon taking a trip to Vietnam and had room for one more. I convinced them to take me. Every year since then, we take a trip somewhere - first London, and recently to revisit South Korea and see Taiwan.

During that 2022 semester, I also got placed in a group project with some Korean students. One night, while I was working on a shared google doc for our project, I noticed that someone else was working on it as well - Kaylee. We had a conversation through the docs, where she told me that she was going to be studying abroad at my university next semester. So we made an effort to hangout. While at my university, she made a stuffed cougar that she did not have the room to bring back to Korea with her. Since I was visiting Korea soon, I offered to bring the cougar with me and reunite them.

This is the story.
