#15 EUNSOO - 🇰🇷 - People Make The Place!

For my last episode recorded in Valencia, I welcome Eunsoo to the mic: this cheerful South Korean girl has leveraged her studies in international development and relations to travel from South America to Asia to Europe, with some incursions also in Tanzania, Turkey and more!
