About Me
Hello! I'm Gumseng. ðĪ
I'm an economics student who likes learning by doing. I love exploring mountains, discovering new food places in the city, and saying yes to experiences that teach me something.
When I'm not working on classes or projects, I'm usually planning my next trip, on a trail, or working.
My Hobbies
Backpacking
I love multi-day trips where everything I need is in my pack. Long miles, simple camps, scary nights and quiet mornings on the trail are my kind of reset.
Stargazing
On clear nights I bring out a telescope and lose track of time. Seeing planets, star clusters, and deep-sky objects never gets old.
Mountain Biking
Technical trails keep me focused and humble. I enjoy the mix of flow, challenge, and that post-ride feeling.
Motorcycle Riding
Riding helps me clear my head. Whether its pavement or gravel, I enjoy the freedom and focus it brings.
Games
I enjoy tough, skill-based games like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Hollow Knight. Learning from failure and improving run after run is the fun part.
Learning Japan

Places I've Enjoyed
Guadalupe National Park
This is where I hiked the highest peak in Texas. The dry landscape, big skies, and summit views made it one of my favorite trips.
Big Bend National Park
Big Bend feels huge and quiet in the best way. Backpacking through the Chisos Mountains and stargazing under some of the darkest skies I've seen was unforgettable.
Eagle Rock Loop, Arkansas
Eagle Rock Loop pushed me physically and mentally. River crossings, steep climbs, and remote camps made every mile feel earned.
Carlsbad Caverns
Carlsbad Caverns felt like stepping into another world. The scale underground is incredible, and watching the evening bat flight was a highlight.
Mountain Bucket List
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."
