Book Introduction
As we all know, being a working mom raising a kindergartener while working in Korean society today is quite a demanding task.
This will be especially true if you are over 50 years old.
The author plans a long-term trip as a way to recharge his tired body and mind before his child, who is in his last year of kindergarten, enters elementary school.
Additionally, there was a realistic goal of providing the child with an opportunity to naturally learn English.

And he chooses Brisbane, Australia as his travel destination.
But the reason I chose this place is surprising.
There was no special research or review of the area that suited the travel intention.
A student of the author, who taught art, happened to be studying abroad at an art college in Australia, and that connection led to the choice of that place as a travel destination.
The author's main theme of art, 'fate', is also powerful here.
The author was completely captivated by Brisbane, and this book contains a simple and candid account of the 11 weeks he spent there.

Publisher's Review
From arrival to departure, the 11 weeks spent with the child were not simply a trip, but “the first time in my life that I could truly heal.” That’s why the subtitle is “An 11-week Brisbane, Australia healing project to escape the tiring daily life and find my lost self!”
And the author published this book because he wanted to share with readers the healing opportunities he experienced.
“I hope that anyone who is feeling down and having a hard time will feel like they are on a trip to Brisbane, Australia through this book.
“I published this book because I really wanted to recommend Brisbane as a travel destination for everyone.” This book is a record of everyday life in Brisbane for 11 weeks, a travelogue, and a story of the growth of the author and her child.

Clear skies, clean air, beautiful nature, a cup of coffee, the culture of the local residents, etc. It was a healing environment and lifestyle that exceeded the author's expectations.
Additionally, the long-term stay in a distant foreign land had a positive effect on the bond with the child, and the child grew up well in the new environment.
The author cultivated his inner self through reading and contemplation, and recharged his tired body and mind by immersing himself in beautiful natural environments and traveling.
This book is an unvarnished record of this journey, the result of reflection, and a celebration of Brisbane.
The following sentence fully expresses the author's feelings about Brisbane.
“A trip to find a break from life, a place where I can completely relax my body and mind. I love Brisbane!”
