About Us
Formed from an appreciation of how tangible goods can transport us to the past and create lasting connections to people and places far away, Next Stop was inspired by my mother, who moved back to Korea when I was a small child. She would send stickers and stationery—items I still cherish today.
When I returned to Korea 35 years later in 2025 for her passing, I was struck by the deep sense of familiarity the stickers and stationery I found abroad had evoked, reminding me of what I had longed for all those years. With each sheet of stickers and every mark from a pen, I’m reminded of her thoughtfulness and our shared hopes for each other.
My hope now is to bridge that gap for others who seek a sense of home away from home, and the belonging and connection that small, meaningful goods can offer. For every stage of life, for every milestone, for every far away loved one, we’re your next stop
