환영합니다!
So close to one year! At this very moment in time I'm 26 days away from my trip back to the US, and even fewer from my last day at school for the year. This month, and to be fair basically the past 3 months, at school have been pretty much a joke. It's been…

As I try to look back on this past year in Korea and come to some sort of conclusion about things I've learned or ways I've changed, I can't seem to come up with any clear answer. I've learned a lot and certainly changed in a lot of ways, but Korea is not a complete…
Here's a little video I put together from myself and my sister's quick trip to Kyoto. I hope you enjoy it! 24 Hours in Kyoto
We've hit double digits! This has been an absolutely packed month. Between my sister coming to Korea, our weekend trip to Japan, Thanksgiving, the first snow, signing my contract for another year in Korea, and planning my trip back to America, I've hardly had any time to process it all. But it's been a good…
(Brace yourself for a crushing wave of sentimentality. Because if you thought I could over idealize, romanticize, and just generally be way too cheesy about Korea, just wait until you hear my thoughts on my home town.) Thinking About Home The thing of "missing home" while you're living abroad is a complex and constantly…

So proper fall, where the leaves change and the weather starts to take a nosedive towards freezing, was completely new for me. It admittedly didn't…
24 Hours in Kyoto We arrived in Osaka at about 10:25am running on Loterria burgers and roughly three hours sleep from the night before. To use the word, "exhausted" would be an understatement. I felt like a zombie. And we felt even more like zombies after the hour and a half long bus ride from…
A while back I made a post called "Streets of Japan: Tokyo," which you can check out HERE if you'd like. Taking picture of streets while I travel and Japan are two things that I happen to love, and so these posts are always fun for me. Last weekend my sister and I went on…
역시 is a word that I've spent a lot of time trying to work out its exact meaning. Before I moved to Korea I remember asking some of my Korean friends what it means and they had a very difficult time giving a particular definition for it. And now that I live here, and I listen…
Tai O Fishing Village was one of my favorite places that we visited during my time in Hong Kong. It was simultaneously familiar because of how comfortable I am around the water, but also unlike any place that I've ever visited. We had to take a ferry to get there and I, who can't fall…
