Why Aurora?

서울에서 시작된 이야기 (The story that started in Seoul)

Our journey began not in the mountains of Nepal, but in the bustling streets of Cheonan. For a decade, we lived, worked, and raised our family in Korea, gaining a deep understanding of the culture before returning home to bridge the gap between two worlds.

KOREA, 2022

The Beginning

Arrival in Korea

새로운 시작 (New Beginning)

Landed in Incheon with two backpacks and a dream. We immersed ourselves in the fast-paced life of Cheonan, learning the language from the work and culture around me.

Bridging Cultures

두 문화를 잇는 진심 (Sincerity bridging two cultures)

Was working with major Korean Hyundai Partex. My wife joined me from Nepal, and talking with families in Korea made us realize that while Koreans love trekking, existing services often lacked the "Jeong" (connection) and precision they expected.

Milestone

Aurora is Born

두 세계가 만난 선물, 아로라 (The gift where two worlds meet)

Our daughter Aurora was born in a hospital in Ehwa Hospital. She is the literal embodiment of our two homes. We named our company after her to promise the same care we give our family.
