Day 2: On day two I didn't leave my friend's apartment. I wrote a little bit about that in my last post, which you can read here. I was jet lagged and unsure of the neighborhood I was in and that combination resulted in me hanging out with my friends cat Fufu all day. Also it was…
*Just for the record I absolutely do not intend to be writing about every single day here, but my first week hanging out in Seoul was really amazing so I figured it would be interesting for you guys! So here's a bunch of posts coming at you! Enjoy! Day 1: I woke up the first…
I'm counting yesterday as a loss. I arrived in Korea 3 days ago. The first day was spent easily in the company of a good friend whose place I'll be at saying at for a while. She showed me around Samcheongdong, and we went to a cafe where she likes to study. It was easy…
I'm writing this post from a cafe in Seoul! After months and months of preparations and saying goodbye to loved ones, I am finally here! My trip began in Miami after a perfectly lovely evening in Coral Gables with my parents. We ate dinner in a cozy French restaurant and walked around to shop a…
I'm writing this in the coffee shop where I always study. I woke up this morning in my own bed, I ate breakfast while my dog sat on the floor next to me hoping that I'd drop something, and I'm going meet up with some friends during their lunch break. It's almost like nothing is happening. But…
This past weekend I went to visit my roommate in Tennessee. My flight to Korea is now only eight days away so I'm trying as hard as possible so see as many people as possible before I leave. And in case any one is confused as to how my "roommate" lives in Tennessee and I live…
For anyone who is considering, or will soon be beginning, the process of applying to EPIK (English Program in Korea) I hope that this can be useful in some way. For everyone else, I'm sorry this is pretty much completely irrelevant. More interesting content to follow as I move out of the country in less…
The fear of the unknown is what I imagine most people feel when they are about to move to another country. And while I certainly fear that as well, (I fear not knowing the language, not knowing how to do my laundry, or ride the bus, or open a bank account) what I really fear…
Hello friends and family! I have some exciting news and Korea updates! But for those of you who aren't caught up, or are confused about what I'm doing with my life currently (don't worry most people I know fall into that category), let's begin at the beginning. Rewind to Thanksgiving of last year. That was…

After an incredible day in Florence, about which you can read here, we headed off to Rome. Rome itself was, of course, historically mind-blowing. Coming from the US where our history is only a short 200 years, something like the Colosseum is almost hard to understand. But it wasn't the Colosseum or the aqueducts that did it…
