Post 1 by Young Kim on Instagram (carousel) — 📍Dana Point | California
The year began with a week of on-and-off drizzle before California slowly returned to its usual sun.☀️
Took a drive down to Dana Point this past weekend and captured a few moments in between:)

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays🎄
Taking a pause from travel photos for a moment—sharing some local frames before you forget I live in California haha.

📸 from Manhattan Beach, taken about a month ago. Probably the beach I frequented most back when I lived in LA (now based in Orange County).

Let me know if you’ve actually been hoping to see some Cali posts again 👀🙂
.
메리 크리스마스 & 좋은 연말 되시길 바랍니다.🎄
여행 사진들은 아직 많이 밀려 있지만, 잠깐 현지 사진으로 전환 합니다. 이대로 가다간 제가 캘리포니아 사는것도 모르시게 될거 같아서. 😅

📸 한달전쯤 멘헤튼 비치에서 찍었던 사진들 입니다. LA 살던 시절 가장 자주 갔던 해변일 거예요 (지금은 오렌지카운티 거주).

혹시 마침 캘리포니아 사진 다시 언제 올라오나 기다리셨던 분 계신가요? 👀🙂

Post 4 by Young Kim on Instagram (carousel) — 📍Bali (3 of 3) | Indonesia
Probably the longest hiatus I’ve taken between posts, hope you didn’t forget about me haha. Travel, work, and the flu made the last couple weeks a whirlwind to say the least. With things now back on track though, finally sharing the final Bali set. Enjoy, and hope the holiday season’s treating you well wherever you are!

📸 Tanah Lot Temple: Built in the 16th century, it is one of Bali’s most famous sea temples, perched on a rocky outcrop along the southwestern coast. Dedicated to the sea god Dewa Baruna, it’s still used for Hindu rituals and offerings.

지난 포스트 이후 가장 긴 공백이었던거 같네요, 그동안 저를 안 잊으셨기를..😅. 일, 여행, 독감으로 인해 회오리 같은 몇주였습니다. 이제 차차 모든게 다시 정상이어서 드뎌 마지막 발리 세트 포스트 합니다. 잘 봐주셔서 감사하고 어디 계시든 좋은 연말 보내시길 바래요:)

📸 타나롯 사원: 발리 남서부 해안의 바위 위에 자리한 타나롯 사원은 16세기에 사제 니라르타에 의해 세워졌습니다. 바다의 신 데와 바루나(Dewa Baruna)에게 바쳐진 이 사원은 현재까지 발리 힌두교 의식에서 중요한 장소로 사용되고 있습니다.

Didn’t think I’d put together a whole set dedicated to a resort, but this place earned it with every corner being picture worthy:) Would you agree from what you see?

📸 Andaz Bali: Nestled in peaceful Sanur, this resort blends low-key luxury with Balinese-inspired architecture. With multiple pools, direct beach access, and beautifully designed spaces, it’s easily one of Bali’s most photogenic stays.

📸 July 2025

Sanur: Charming seaside town in southeast Bali, with its long stretch of beach offering shallow waters. 🌤️

Made it out to Indonesia for the first time this past July while visiting Singapore. Would love to explore Southeast Asia more, but it’s quite the distance from LA; not the easiest trip to make haha. Since it was a couple of days just in Bali(but a memorable couple at that), definitely hoping to return someday to explore other parts of Indonesia as well 🏝️

Let me know if you have a favorite shot:)

사누르(Sanur): 발리 남동부에 위치한 해변 마을로, 잔잔하고 얕은 바다가 길게 이어진 곳입니다 🌤️

지난 7월, 싱가폴 방문중 처음으로 인도네시아에 가봤습니다. 동남아를 더 많이 보고 싶긴한데, LA에서 가기엔 상당히 멀어서 매번 쉬운 결정이 아니네요 하하. 발리에서만 며칠 보낸거였지만 좋았어서 나중엔 인도네시아의 다른 지역들도 볼 기회가 생겼으면 하네요:)

Final set from New York earlier this month(shots from miscellaneous locations). It’d been a couple of years since I’d been to the East Coast, so it was definitely good to get out there for a bit.

Was fortunate to do another quick Japan trip in Oct as well; might be a while before I get around to posting on that, but if curious you could find photos on my story highlights in the meantime haha.

November around the corner now, hard to fathom! Hope you all end October on a high note. 🙏💯

이번 달 초 뉴욕에서의 마지막 세트입니다 (장소는 여기저기). 동부는 저도 몇년 만에 방문해서 또 새롭고 좋았네요:)

10월에 운좋게 일본도 또 잠깐 다녀왔는데 관련 포스트는 아마 한참 후에나 하게 될거 같네요. 혹시 궁금하시면 스토리 하이라이트에서 사진은 보실수 있습니다 하하.

아무튼 이제 벌써 11월인데(믿기지 않네요) 모두 좋은 10월 마무리 되세요! 🙏💯

Shots from around Times Square, a place that probably needs no introduction haha. It’s been a long week back home in Cali, so just barely managing to squeeze in this post. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!:)

📸 Oct 2025

Times Square: Once known as Longacre Square, it was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters there—just in time for the very first New Year’s Eve celebration that same year. Over the decades, it’s transformed from a theater and entertainment hub to a gritty mid-century district, and finally into the neon-lit symbol of New York energy we know today.
.
아마 설명이 필요없는 뉴욕의 상징적인 장소, 타임스퀘어 주변에서의 사진들입니다. 무척 피곤했던 한주였는데 어떻게 또 포스트 그래도 만들어 올립니다. 엔조이 하시고 좋은 주말 보내세요!:)

📸 2025년 10월

타임스퀘어: 원래 ‘롱에이커 스퀘어(Longacre Square)’로 불리던 이곳은 1904년 뉴욕 타임스(The New York Times) 본사가 이전해 오면서 현재의 이름으로 바뀌었습니다. 그해 첫 번째 새해 전야 축하 행사가 열린 것도 바로 이곳이었죠. 이후 수십 년에 걸쳐 타임스퀘어는 극장가와 오락 중심지로, 또 한때는 다소 거친 지역으로, 그리고 지금은 뉴욕의 에너지를 상징하는 네온 불빛의 거리로 변모해왔습니다.

Post 9 by Young Kim on Instagram (carousel) — 📍NYC | New York
Weekend visit to see some family, so I wasn’t anticipating taking enough photos for any dedicated New York posts. With the city’s vibrant nature though, it didn’t take long to accumulate plenty of shots I liked haha. Enough, in fact, that my intended Southeast Asia posts are now getting pushed back yet again(just slightly! 🥲).
Here’s the first of three New York City sets; 📸 taken from High Line park.

The High Line: A 1.45-mile elevated park on Manhattan’s West Side, built on a former freight rail line. It stretches from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District up to 34th Street near Hudson Yards, featuring landscaped gardens, public art, and sweeping views of the city and the Hudson River. 🌿🏙️

가족 방문 목적으로 주말만 방문한거라 애초에 사진을 많이 찍을거라고는 기대도 안하고 갔지만, 역시나 살아있는 도시인 만큼 순식간에 맘에 드는 샷을 많이 건졌네요 하하..덕분에 계획했던 동남아 사진들은 또 살짝 밀렸지만(이미 늦었기에 🥲..), 얼떨결에 뉴욕 포스트 몇개 준비해 봅니다. 첫번째 세트는 하이라인에서 찍은 사진들 입니다:)

하이라인(The High Line): 맨해튼 웨스트사이드에 있는 1.45마일(약 2.3km) 길이의 고가 공원으로, 과거 화물 철로를 활용해 만들어졌습니다. 미트패킹 디스트릭트(Gansevoort Street)에서 허드슨 야드(34th Street)까지 이어지며, 조경된 정원, 공공 미술 작품, 그리고 도시와 허드슨 강의 탁 트인 전망을 즐길 수 있습니다. 🌿🏙️

Last set from this year’s annual visit; shots from the traditional(and touristy) Bukchon neighborhood. Hoping I can return sooner rather than later, and maybe in a cooler season next time 😅. Thank you for the memories Korea, until next time. 🙏🙂

이번해 방문에서의 마지막 세트; 북촌에서의 사진들입니다. 순식간에 또 시간이 지났고 어느세 또 현실(캘리포니아)이네요. 다음엔 좀더 빨리 이왕 덜 더울때 갔으면 해요 😅. 좋은시간 언제나 감사했습니다 코리아, 다음에 또 뵙겠습니다. 🙏🙂
