환영합니다!
This was my last full day in Seoul before heading off to Daejeon for EPIK orientation. I woke up to a text from one of my Korean friends that her mom had offered to take me to the airport the next morning and that I could stay with them for the night as well. My biggest…
Day five was another amazing day! I took the bus and subway to Sinsa station to meet up with a friend in Garosugil which is a fancy area of Seoul with lots of beautiful restaurants and cafe's. I told her that I'd been wanting to try Mandu which is Korean style dumplings so…
Day four was a weird day. It involved me going for a walk just to get my self out of the house and looking for a cafe to study in for a while. I was successful at both of those things, and I very much enjoyed my coffee, bagel, and people watching outside the window.…
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…
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…
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…
