Hello folks and welcome to badum!, a weekly documentation of my study abroad experience. This is my very first time blogging in attempt to share my most honest thoughts and feelings on a public platform like this, so we’ll see how it goes…!
The name badum! surfaced from a conversation with my good friend Ahana where we were in the middle of discussing the possibility of starting a personal writing project together. Right then, I told her my heart went badum! from excitement. Then, she proceeded to change my contact name to badum! (lol). Now I find badum! to be very endearing because it is a very visceral and physical reaction of the excitement I am feeling that I hope to adopt in many places and experiences alike. I chose this name mainly in hopes that this study abroad and blog experience will keep the badum! going. 🙂
(Also, my friend Julie recently commented how the word badum sounds like the Korean term 받음 which means “receiving”. Wow!)
Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy: The Eileen Ahn story – Denmark Edition !!
