Karin Whang is adopted from South Korea and raised in the Pacific Northwest with five adopted siblings in a family with five different nationalities. After high school and during college, Karin let her curiosity take her globetrotting around the world for the next 15 years.

Courageously confronting the unknown, from sneaking in and out of war zones to rebuild African communities to unraveling five mysterious deaths in her birth family, and meditating for one year in silence in Myanmar (Burma), Karin shares her lifelong map of her past that have paved the way for the future and her discovery of the true meaning of solitude, freedom, and love.

Karin received her master’s degree in Strategic Communications from Columbia University which compliments her career as a producer and celebrity talent scout for Grammy award winning musicians, Nobel Peace Prize winners, TED talk speakers, New York Times Best Selling authors, and renowned philanthropists. She is currently the Founder of the Neon Prairie Festival, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma
