Hi there everyone! My name is Kelsey and I am a first time blogger. This blog is mostly for the benefit of my family and friends back home, but people that are interested in learning more about the country of South Korea, are planning on moving to or visiting South Korea, or plan on teaching in a foreign country might also find my blog interesting and useful.
A little background on me might be helpful to the people that aren't my family or friends. I am 22 years old and in less than two months I will be moving to South Korea. While in South Korea I will be teaching English. I am from the United States but, anyone from a country where the native language is English can come to South Korea to teach.
I just graduated from Westfield State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I decided to be a teacher around the age of six and never really looked back. I took my first trip out of the country when I was 18 years old and fell in love with traveling and experiencing other cultures. During the summer when I was 21 I took a trip to Ireland. While I was there I was talking to a high school girl. She told me all about this history teacher that she had that was from the States. I never really thought that combining my two passions in life was even possible until that moment. If I taught English then I could travel and teach!!!
I got home from Ireland and started looking into which countries I could teach abroad in. After months, I kid you not I was very thorough, I had decided on South Korea. I can't tell you exactly why South Korea won out over all the rest. It just felt like the best fit for me. So there it is. I'm moving to South Korea. I start the journey to get there almost a full year ago and now it's almost here!
Stay tuned for more information on how I got everything I needed to make this all possible and what company I chose to go through.
