Seoul Stirred, Not Shaken: Adventures of an American Girl
Hello and welcome, dear reader, to my blog! I invite you to settle in with a comforting cup of tea or coffee and a sweet treat as you delve into tales of my travels and experiences in Seoul, South Korea, and beyond.
My name is Gabriella Fontana, though my friends affectionately call me Ellie. I'm currently pursuing dual majors in Music Business and Marketing, along with a minor in Classical Voice at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. As of this February (cue the confetti!), I've turned 22—making me an Aquarius in the stars, and an ENFJ (The Hero) for those who swear by MBTI.
Here's a glimpse into some fun facts about me: I adore chocolate, my go-to artist is Laufey, dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I'm certified for open water and shipwreck scuba diving.
So, grab your drink, get cozy, and join this American girl on her exciting journey through the world!
