Hi Friends! Moneth Here!

Welcome to Hello Graciemo!

Thank you for joining my family and me on our adventures! I’m so glad you’re here.

A little about me: I’m a Southern girl at heart, holding on to my Pacific Islander roots. I married my college sweetheart, and together, we’ve built a family of four with our two daughters.

Thanks to my husband’s ever-changing career, we’ve been blessed to call different parts of the world home. Our adventures began in Georgia, then in Virginia, and finally in California, where we made travel a family affair. We wanted to explore everything the West Coast had to offer, and before long, we caught the travel bug. We haven’t stopped since!

How It All Began

Back in 2011, during a break from my nursing career, I started a private blog on Blogger to document our family’s special memories.

Here’s a little secret: I didn’t actually share it with anyone until 2020! It was simply my personal journal of our travels, everyday life, and all the little moments in between.

But as our family continued to grow and our adventures took us farther from home, I thought, Why not share our life and experiences with family and friends?

And so, Hello Graciemo was born. About time, huh?

Life Abroad

At the time, we were living in beautiful Germany, making the most of everything Europe had to offer while also renovating our home. There was so much to explore, so much to share, and plenty of adventures waiting around the corner.

Today, our adventures have taken us to South Korea, where we are currently exploring our new home, Busan, after living in Germany for almost 7.5 years. We are so excited to explore South Korea, discover new places, and share what it is like to live abroad once again on another continent. There’s so much to see, eat, and experience, and I can’t wait to take you along with us!

This blog is a little glimpse into our life abroad, from traveling and discovering new places to family, motherhood, food, and cooking. It’s also where I share the joys and challenges of navigating life in another country.

Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, helpful tips, a peek into our family life, or simply to tag along on our adventures, I’m so happy to have you here.

Thank you for being part of our journey!

Until next time,
