So then I started a blog.

I decided to start this mostly so that I could share stories and pictures with friends and family back home more easily. I will be leaving in the next week or so to begin my job in Hanam-si, South Korea.


This is the city location; I realize this means next to nothing to a lot of you, though! The city is about 45 minutes outside of central Seoul and is classified as a "satellite city." It is also about 50 minutes away by bus from the town that my best friend Carly will be teaching in. Hanam is really pretty small for a Korean city, but I certainly don't mind that. It has all of the conveniences I could need, including the Emart (sort of a Korean answer to Walmart) that is literally a five minute walk from my apartment.

This is the website for the school I will be teaching at, if anyone is interested. It's in Korean, but you can poke around and be wowed by the cute kids, if you like! I'm really excited about this experience, and I hope to be able to report back about the good time I am having! I'll update more as the date approaches closer! Thank you for reading!
