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…

Anyone who has a TESOL certificate knows the amazing feeling of being able to leave the country and theoretically find a job anywhere in the word. It's like your professional passport. But of course that's only the beginning. I am going to Korea in February to start teaching but I had originally planned to start…

I have put many hours into trying to understand the mechanics and art of photography. But I know next to knowing about film. Despite that fact I had a blast putting together this little video of my two weeks in Korea. It was really special for me to be able to see a country that I've loved…
I like to take pictures of streets. And looking back through all my old photos to start writing this post, I realize that this is kind of a recent thing for me. I traveled a bit in high school as well but it wasn't until university that I really started to fall in love with…
Seoul basically feels like New York city, except that everyone is Korean. It wasn't until I got out into the country side that I really started to feel like I was in a completely foreign country. But the difference between Seoul and any other big city in the US is that you can be in…
After a perfectly exhausting day in Gyeongju we finally made it to the train station to head to Busan. The train was exactly 11 minutes late and my friend had started threatening to sue. That should tell you a little something about how efficient the transportation usually is here. But it did arrive, and roughly an…
This weekend we went on an adventure. Adventure though, I'm coming to realize, was somewhat killed by the invention of the smart phone.

I'm quite shy and not great at being in big groups of people or being the center of attention. And I've decided to make a career…
Friday August 12th 9:15 am I decided it was time to call it. My bus to visit a friend who lives a little ways outside of Seoul was supposed to leave at 9:20 and there was no way I was going to figure out 1. where I was and 2. where my bus was in…

Yesterday two of my former students, now friends, and I went to Gyeongbokgung and Myeongdong and ended up walking a total of almost 9 miles. As someone who 1. never exercises and 2. has chronic feet problems to rival a 70-year-old, that's actually quite a feat. I had planned to meet up with them at…
