Welcome to my blog everyone! This is my first post and my last full day in America. SO CRAZY! My emotions are that of a person with multiple personalities. I am excited and nervous, sad and happy and go through suirts of each! Ill begin by giving you the low down on how my big move to South Korea came about.
I've always wanted to travel around the world. I mean there is so much to see, learn and experience that I cannot imagine living my life without exploring more of the world than just the bubble in which I live. Last January, almost 1 year to date, I traveled to Italy and this is where I got bit, big time, by the travel bug. I had one of the most amazing times of my life thus far so, naturally, I could not suppress my adventurous spirit and decided it was imperitive that I see more.
A friend of mine introduced me to the idea of teaching english in South Korea and at first I was a little bit unsure about the idea. I origionally looked at Spanish speaking places to teach since I know more Spanish, but the benefits just werent there, Upon researching the Korea Poly school that I would be teaching through and talking to more people about what it is like I was more than positive that South Korea was the place I needed to go. I realized that it would be tough and quite the culture shock, but I kind of enjoy putting myself in situations that may be tough, but make me learn.To my surprise I got offered the most perfect job for a lady like me. I will be a gym teacher at a private school in Korea. The first one at my campus (WOOPWOOP!). I feel bad for the second as they have to live up to my awesomeness..nearly impossible to do. ;)
Long story short, after a long test of patience and loads of paperwork I am ready to go and am now an immigrant. I know 6 Korean words and am learning phrases on how to order not one, but 2 beers. So all in all I am clearly set to go.
Follow my blog to keep up with how I am doing, where I have been and the things I have experienced. Knowing me I will have some pretty odd stories as the wierdest things seem to happen to me. I will post photos so you can feel like you are right there with me!! In my attempt to be entertaining hopefully throughout my entries you will laugh, cry and high five those you are reading with as you celebrate my triumphs. Your destiny is what you make and I am grabbing hold of mine and making it amazing!
Thanks for visiting!!
