My experience in South Korea

I moved to South Korea during the height of the pandemic and while it was a tough transition, I loved every minute of my time here. I would spend weekends hiking and exploring Seoul when I could.

We loved Busan in the south as well as Namhae. South Korea is full of rich cultural heritage and friendly faces. It’s not just the land of K-pop but also filled with dramatic landscapes, a history that will shake you to your core, and wonderful food!
